If there is one thing that is an absolute holiday tradition around our house, it is making almond bark dipped pretzels. My kids absolutely love them!
I don’t know if it’s the salty mixed with sweet flavor or the fact that they’re fun for the kids to make all by themselves…whatever, they are always a “must make” around here each and every year.
This year, I’m sharing the recipe as a part of a special 12 Days of Christmas Tour:
It is Day 6, the final day of the tour and I am sharing my version of 11 Pipers Piping.
You know the song, right?
Sing it with me! (Counting down from 12…)
12 Drummers Drumming
11 Pipers Piping
10 Lords a Leaping
9 Ladies Dancing
8 Maids a Milking
7 Swans a Swimming
6 Geese a Laying
5 Golden Rings
4 Calling Birds
3 French Hens
2 Turtle Doves
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree!!!!
Okay, so it’s a little dorky to conduct a sing-along, but don’t we all know the song?
And, what exactly does 11 Pipers Piping have to do with my almond bark pretzels?
This year I made them using the large stick pretzels so they look a little like flutes or pipes.
There are 11 of them, one for each Piper.
They are soooo easy to make. I can hardly even call this a recipe but here it is…you’ll need pretzels, a package of almond bark and some sprinkles.
Directions:
Melt about 3 cubes (or more) of almond bark according to package directions.
Dip the pretzels in the almond bark (I had to drizzle it with a spoon to cover the large pretzels)
Sprinkle with festive baking sprinkles.
Let cool for about 5 minutes.
That’s it. Really.
I told you …. SOOOO easy!

Julie, what a cute idea for the 11 pipes never would have thought to do this! They look delicious!
Yum! I love pretzels dipped in almond bark. It’s been a few years since I’ve made these and now I really want to do it again. This is a great idea for Eleven Pipers Piping!
Those look yummy and so easy too!!
Nancy
What a great idea! You’re right; the pretzel rods are reminiscent of pipes. Very clever to make 11 of them. I ended up just going with a general “12 Days of Christmas” theme; I’m glad you were able to come up with something specific to the day!
MMMM! They look delicious and festive! XO

Simple and yet so festive! Great idea! I’ll have to look for almond bark the next time I go to the store. Thanks for the idea. I’m going to Pin it!
Love those pretzel sticks…love it for the sweet and salty combination..my favorite!
We make a lot of these during the holiday season…my daughter discovered if you melt the almond bark in a quart size mason jar you can dip them easily…and the more sprinkles the better!
