Pretzel Sparklers

Yes it's true...I Love Martha Stewart and all the creative crafts and recipes she comes up with!! I can't wait to make my Pretzel Sparklers this 4th of July... How Easy and CUTE are they?!What about you?! What fun Independence Day dishes do you plan on making?!

This Recipe will make two dozen!

Place 4 oz of chopped semisweet chocolate in a bowl and set over a pan of simmering water.

Stir occasionally until melted then remove from heat.

Using a pastry brush, coat the upper part of each pretzel in chocolate.

Cover with sprinkles; stand pretzels upright in a glass.

Place in the refrigerator until firm...approximately 5 minutes

ENJOY!

Pasha's

Absolutely love this place...healthy Mediterranean cuisines that are so super delicious. It was a gorgeous day in South Beach so we decided to have lunch outside. Pasha's is the perfect place to stop for lunch when shopping on Lincoln Road.
