Tackle it Tuesday: Easy Christmas Candy
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.

Love all of those ideas!! Thanks for linking to TMTT.
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,
