Ingredients:

1 pack long pretzel rods
1 pack vanilla candy coating
Decorations, such as red and green sprinkles, holiday M&Ms or crushed up candy canes

Procedure:

1. Place the candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl.

**Note: Make sure you do not get any water in the bowl. Any water at all will cause the candy coating not to melt properly and separate.

2. Microwave the candy coating for a minute, then stir. Microwave for an additional minute, until it is completely melted and smooth.

3. Stick a pretzel rod into the chocolate, and with a spoon, cover about 3/4 of the pretzel with chocolate. Let the excess drip back into the bowl.

4. Sprinkle the chocolate with either red and green colored sprinkles, crushed up peppermints, or stick red and green M&Ms to the chocolate.

5. Place the decorated pretzel on a piece of waxed paper or aluminum foil, and let it dry completely, about an hour. Gently pull the pretzels off the paper.

Creative Idea: You can stick your decorated pretzels to your cookies and serve them like these. Let your creative mind work!

White Chocolate Chunk Brownies!

Who says Valentine’s Day is only for lovers? That ain’t true actually. We live in a world where love doesn’t choose anyone. So why be lonely?

If you’re just one of those who are tired of the usual and would want to be extraordinary thinkers when it comes to coming up with something new (and sweet)this Valentine’s Day, then you came to the right spot.

The possibilities are endless! But we finally came up with for the most anticipated 14th day of February was to have a beautifully packed assortment of brownies that would actually make great gifts for friends, for special people, and most of all - for yourself.

Not only do they look great but you also get a double dose of chocolate as each brownie is stuffed with chocolate pieces giving it the extraordinary chewy middles. The colorful frostings turn these brownies into something deliciously special. They come in seven different looks. Though we only have the chocolate and white chocolate chunk brownies, we made them special by picking different ingredients to add in. By using any combination of chocolate and white chocolate chips, chopped nuts, candy-coated chocolate pieces, etc. we finally came up with these:

? chocolate frosting topped with white chocolate chips? white chocolate frosting topped with chocolate chips

? chocolate frosting topped with grated white chocolate

? white chocolate frosting topped with grated chocolate

? pink frosting garnished with white chocolate chips

? white chocolate frosting topped with colorful candy-coated chocolate sprinkles

? chocolate frosting topped with colorful candy-coated chocolate sprinkles

So after spending much time and money with those bouquets and cards, try adding up this great box of Valentine’s brownies. For just 180php for a box of eight brownies, you’ll surely melt the hearts of those to whom they will be given..

I was a bit doing cramming yesterday as I was having trouble coming up with a surprise for a friend. Im so preoccupied with my busy schedule that I couldnt imagine having time to somehow make something really special. Then I got to come across the idea of giving away a cake - but to make it more extraordinary… I’ll be the one making it. And that’s how the plan actually root from.

Bake a small cake, candlelight dinner, some balloons, some flowers.. and that special moment…

Now before I go on saying the details, here’s the frosting recipe I would like to share to you..
