For my fall hostess gifts this year, I made chocolate covered pretzels. I melted good quality chocolate in a double boiler and then drizzled it on to the pretzels. I added a sugar leaf to the center to make them more fall- like, using chocolate as the glue. Then I put them in a cellophane bags, added a tag (from Celebrations at Home's blog) and tied them with large bows in orange, lime green with polka dots and yellow with white stripped ribbon. I put them in baskets filled with raffia.
MY TIP: Make sure you have the approximate number of pretzels for your gifts. I used Snyder's large Sourdough pretzels. Although there are a pound of pretzels in each bag, I found that there were only 5 or 6 whole pretzels that could be used in each bag. Since I made 6 of these up it took me 6 bags!
