Holiday Baking

I actually did some holiday baking last night. This year I want to make goodie tins for family and friends. One item I want to include is dipped pretzels, but since I have never attempted to do this, I experimented some last night. I also had on hand some Reynolds parchment paper which I’ve been itching to try. I will also use it later this week when I bake cookies, which will mean less clean up for me.

I did enjoy using the parchment paper instead of wax paper. It was just so much easier to work with because it stayed in place and didn’t curl up. It was a breeze to work with and worked really well. For the dipped pretzels, all I need was the parchment paper, pretzels, white chocolate, a microwavable bowl(not pictured), a spoon(not pictured), and two forks.

I broke off a few pieces of the white chocolate and placed in the bowl. I set the microwave for 90 seconds and then checked the progress. I then placed it in there for another 30-45 seconds, stirring the chocolate to get it smooth. I then placed the pretzels in the bowl, using the fork to flip them over and then to hoist them out of the bowl.

I then placed the coated pretzels onto the parchment paper and waited for the coating to harden. Once some time had passed, it was very easy to lift the pretzels off the parchment paper.

I will be using the cookie swap tips from Reynolds soon enough as I have a cookie swap coming up soon. Who knows, I might be inspired enough to host one next year.
