Tag Archives: Christmas recipe

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!
