Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and my goal is to make it meaningful with a sweet treat for my loved ones. Chocolate covered pretzels are easy to make so I thought I would show you how I like to make them with a video today.

I “Love” this die and find it sooo versatile. The sentiment set is called “Label Maker Love” and it’s awesome to layer with word die cuts. A must have in my book.

Let me know if you like these kind of posts. Wishing you a wonderful week and so grateful for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

    What a clever idea Kathy. It’s always fun to dress up the packaging on something homemade to pour more love into a gift to make it one of a kind and from the heart.

    I have never seen pretzels that big before! Wow what a treat they look Kathy! Adorable packaging. Love that the sprinkles are the shaker element.

        I love you too…..and I just remembered that I’ll be out in SUNNY and WARM San Diego for Valentine’s Day! But I may make a small batch and hid them her and then call Hubby that day and tell him where he can find his gift and gift! That way I won’t eat them all! LOL! I’m still craving these…love the combo of Salt and Sweet! 🙂

    Love the simple recipe and the beautiful wrapping you created! I really loved that you were sampling the goodies as you cooked LOL!

  9. Gail Plaskiewicz says

    I love what you did with the pretzels. Now if I could just find those cute sprinkles! I’ll have to try your recipe although I think i know how it’s all done. I also love the packaging you did but again, I don’t have a die cutting machine so I can’t do what you did. Thanks for showing us how pretty it all looks.
    Have you checked your mailbox lately? I sent you something and I hope you received it. I know your busy and all but if you received it, please let me know. I’d hate to think it didn’t get to you yet. I mailed it 2 weeks ago and you should have gotten it last week.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Thanks Gail..if you can’t find them I can send you some. Let me know. I am sure I have your card in my stack. I like to go though my stack slowly when I feel like I deserve the love. Yes I have my own kinda anxiety . Thanks so much it really means a lot to me. Hugs

      • Gail Plaskiewicz says

        Oh my gosh! I would love it if you would send me some! You are the best ever! I’m also guessing that you’re saying you got my package and my letter. Thank you for looking at it. I wish we lived closer because I would love to craft with you. I hope you don’t mind if I send you some RAK cards every once in a while. I also want to show you a page I just colored. When I sent it in an e-mail to my friends they were very impressed. My dad thinks its beautiful but then he’s my dad & parents are supposed to say that. I’ll have to send it to you in an e-mail because I don’t think I can do that here. Thank you again. You are the best1

    Chocolate covered pretzels are a little bit of Heaven on Earth!! Love how you made your packaging! I like this kind of post because I am always looking for new ideas! TFS!!

  13. Teresa Doyle says

    Love this idea Kathy, so cute AND yummy! Need to find pretzel sticks (IF I can) if not I’ll go for the twisted ones. TFS!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Good luck Teresa finding those pretzel rods. I agree about those twisted one lol. 🙂

  14. conil says

    Master colorer and she cooks too…is there anything you can’t do. Think these are a uber-special way to present a little Valentine. It goes without saying how beautifully colored the wrapping is…because it really is.

  15. Dara Lynn says

    This is a fantastic idea for the adult children and their kids to send through the mail 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to film the process 🙂

  16. Nora says

    This is an awesome idea!! I think I want to try making these for my co-workers. You packaging is fantastic. Thank you for sharing!!

  17. Linda Tupper says

    Ohhhh these look so yummy. Have to look for the long pretzels and make some. How great for Valentines day! Love the beautifully colored packaging. Thanks for sharing this great idea with us.

  19. Rufus says

    Oh yum! Now I want some chocolate covered pretzels! Darn you, I really could taste it! And the packing is very pretty too.

  21. TracyM #6773 says

    SO CUTE and TASTY too 🙂
    I’ve never seen pretzels like the ones you used or your wonderfully “embellished” ones!!!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Really? I wonder if your grocer has them and you just didn’t notice. So happy you like them 🙂

  22. Jan D., FL says

    Loved the video and, “yes”, I like these kinds of posts. Who wouldn’t love seeing ways to use our cardmaking/paper crafting skills in ways other than the obvious? Now I’m hungry. LOL

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      lol Jenn! They are dangerous to have around … I snuck to many and need to make more. Thanks for checking them out 🙂
