Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Parties and cookie swaps come hand-in-hand with the holiday season. While we all wish to participate, more times than not, time is a factor. Do you have enough time to prepare 5 dozen cookies?! Do you have enough time to crank out a spread of goodies for your house guests?! If time is precious, but you’ve already committed, this three step chocolate covered pretzel recipe is for you!

Here is what you’ll need:
1 bag pretzel rods
1 10 oz bag white chocolate chips
Assortment of sprinkles

Begin by melting chocolate chips over a double boiler. Once chocolate is creamy and spreadable, slather it over 3/4 of pretzel rod. While chocolate is warm, cover in sprinkles. Allow pretzels to dry on a lined cookie sheet (aluminum foil or wax paper will work). If you need to speed up the process, pop tray into the refrigerator for an hour or more.

Serve by the rod, or line a flower vase with decorative tissue paper and fill with pretzels. Enjoy!

Hanukkah Blues

I had so much fun decorating our mantle with gelt (chocolate coins), a crystal menorah, dreidels, and latkes banner this year. But let’s get real, it wouldn’t be a holiday in the Kaplan household without Sift Cupcakes. They sure do taste as good as they look, and there is still time to send your loved ones a sweet treat in honor of the Festival of Lights. I recommend the “Ooh Lala” and the “Sky is Falling,” Sift’s version of a red velvet and chocolate cupcake.

Along with the holiday season comes fabulous festive outfits! Already having dabbled with feathers and sequins, for this seasonal look I was inspired by the whole “ugly Christmas sweater” thing. This black and blue fringe skirt was my Hanukkah version, and I styled it with black accents. The studded turtleneck helped create dimension, while the faux fur cropped jacket added drama – something every special occasion ensemble should have. I accessorized lightly with statement earrings, a cocktail ring, and cupcakes.
