Chocolate Christmas Treats

For our Holiday Housewarming Party this past weekend, I made a tray of various chocolate goodies that not only tasted great, but were ridiculously easy to make.

White Christmas Crunch - like caramel corn with white peppermint chocolate on top.

Pretzel Bark - sweet and salty at the same time, with some crunch.

Easy Chocolate Fudge - smooth and creamy with a great fudgy texture.

Now I want to share these recipes with you! They take less than 15 minutes to make, are 5 ingredients or less and make great gifts too!

White Christmas Crunch

This was my absolute favourite of the bunch and was a huge hit at the party. I know I'll be making more of this very soon.

What you'll need:
35 Saltine Cracers
1/2 cup Butter
3/4 cup packed Brown Sugar
6 squares White Chocolate, melted
1/4 cup crushed Candy Canes

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Arrange crackers on a 15x10x1 inch baking pan, lined in foil.

Cook butter and sugar in saucepan on medium-high heat 3 to 4 min. or until butter is melted and mixture is well blended, stirring occasionally. Bring to boil and cook for 3 min. (Do not stir.)

Spread onto crackers.

Bake 4 to 6 min. or until golden brown.

Spread melted chocolate to completely cover crackers.

Top with crushed candy. Refridgerate for 1 hour to cool completely.

Break into squares. Eat a big piece before company arrives. Its essential.

Pretzel Bark

1-1/3 cup chopped Pretzels
8 squares of Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate

Melt the chocolate in the microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until chocolate is almost melted. 

 Stir to melt any remaining pieces. Stir pretzels into chocolate.

Spread onto waxed paper-covered baking sheet.

Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Break into pieces.

12 squares of Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate
1 can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
