Tackle it Tuesday: Easy Christmas Candy
Posted by Amber on January 5, 2010
Just before Christmas I was searching the internet looking for something good to make to take for Christmas dinner. I didn’t want to bring my usual casserole type side dish or dessert from the local bakery. I wanted to make something really yummy.
I just happened across a blog called Wanna Make Something of It that had an easy tutorial on making Christmas Candy. I figured this was something I could do.
I only made 3 out of her 4 listed candies and followed her directions to the letter. You can check out her complete instructions here.
This first one I made was Winter Bark, below is a before pic. This was by far my favorite. It was simple and delicious!!
Next I made the Rolo Pretzel Turtles. Also very easy and very yummy!
Finally the easiest of all. I took the leftover melted white and milk chocolate and dipped a whole bunch of pretzels.
When everything had set I lined a large container with wax paper and layered in all the yummy candy.
This is something I will definitely do again. The kids loved all the little bite sized pieces of candy as well as all the adults.

Those all look wonderful! I make the Rolo turtles using gluten-free pretzels, but hadn’t thought of dipping the pretzels in melted chocolate. Will have to do that some time.
Thanks,
Shirley
