They’re so good, we had to hide them so the enthusiastic NIBBLE staff wouldn’t devour every one before we could photograph them.

Thanks to the Snack Factory, makers of Pretzel Crisps, for such an enjoyable holiday snack. And thanks for not making them year-round: We’d become addicts.

Pretzel Crisps are even kosher, so kosher eaters can share the joy of White Chocolate Peppermint Pretzels.

• They’re the perfect complement to a cup of hot chocolate.
• They add crunch to a bowl of ice cream.
• And they’ll disappear from the bag or bowl.

You may have to hide the bags at your house.

Find Pretzel Crisps at supermarkets nationwide.

The bags have a hole punched at the top. String a ribbon through it, tie a bow, and you’ve got an instant mini-gift.

White chocolate + crushed candy canes
+ crunchy pretzels = 1 great holiday snack.

You can make your own chocolate-coated pretzels at home. It’s easiest to dip pretzel rods. You’ll need a 10-ounce bag of pretzel rods and 12 ounces of chopped chocolate or chocolate chips.

1. Melt chocolate over a double boiler or in microwave (melt in stages in the microwave, stirring so the chocolate doesn’t burn).
2. Dip pretzel rods 2/3 deep in melted chocolate. Set on wax paper.
3. While chocolate is still tacky, roll in crushed peppermint or other topping (sprinkles, chopped nuts, crushed toffee, etc.).
4. Allow to set completely. Serve in a short glass vase.

*White confectionary coating is used instead of white chocolate. But we didn’t notice the difference between the allure of the pretzel and candy cane crunch.
