Joy’s Birthday Party Blog Hop

Pink Chocolate Dipped Pretzels in the House!!!

Welcome everyone!  I hope you have a great time hopping along today.  Today really is my birthday!  Every year since I was eight, I’ve had a strawberry birthday. 😀  DH has continued this tradition for me.  He makes my cake every year.  I can’t wait to see it today!  I have strawberry cake with strawberry icing, strawberry ice cream and strawberry soda (or strawberry drink of some kind, the drink varies a bit).  On Friday, I decided to make pretzel favors for my guests.  Here’s what I did:

I bought this little pretzel kit at Joann’s with the best intentions of creating those detailed pretzels…in pink and white.

Well, it looks JUST LIKE THE PICTURE ON THE BOX doesn’t it?  😉  Right.  Hover over the photos to get some inside info on my thought processes.

UP FROM THE DEPTHS…

I held this up and took the photo all by my little self just so you could see the bottom.  I’m cheering that I didn’t end up wearing it on my head.  So, I didn’t take the time to pipe in the chocolate in different colors.  I just poured it all in and swirled the pretzels around.  LOL!  Even though I did it that way, I think they still turned out pretty.  Next time I’ll at least keep the chocolate in the holder area without messy over spill.  Between you and me, kitchen scissors made those edges look just fine.  SHHHH! 😉

BTW, I made a bunch of the pretzels and the curly swirled ones (not shown) were the cutest. 😀

slkenkt qwe,xog poabxinw … oh, sorry about that.  I was talking with my mouth full of chocolate pretzels, what I was trying to say was…

Alrighty, have fun visiting all of the blogs.  Everyone has a give away for you!!

  8. Happy Birthday SuperJoy! I just found your site a few days ago (I’m a new Cricut user) and I am just learning so much from it – especially your videos. I hope you have a wonderful day!

  15. Happy Birthday Joy!!!!! I really hope you have a great day. But first…I must sing to you…
    ??? Happy Birthday to YOU! Happy Birthday to YOU! ??? Happy Birthday dear Joy……! ??? Happy birthday to YOU! ??? ? you!

  17. Happy birthday, Super Joy! Hope you have a really awesome day!

    I’ve done many candy melt suckers, etc. before…most recently for baby shower…I think I had six different molds. They are tricky and you really have to get a system down…and they do take lots of time! Your pink ones look and I’m sure taste great! Very thoughtful of you for your guests. 🙂

  18. Happy Birthday, Joy! February IS a great day for birthdays. My daughter is going to give birth any day now with my second grandchild! Can’t wait! In the meantime, I’ve got to get busy with some fun crafts. Thanks for your inspirations!

  19. Happy, Happy Birthday Joy! Enjoy YOUR day! The pretzels are so cute, I’m gonna have to go buy the kit, I think it would be something fun I can make with my 3 1/2 year old son. 🙂

  20. ummm ..Strawberries, I can hardly wait for Mi Strawberries…
    Hope your Birthday is a fun filled day

  23. Happy Birthday Joy! I adore chocolate covered pretzels….may have to go buy that mold so mine don’t look so sloppy. Have a Happy Day!

  26. Happy Birthday Joy! Have a wonderful strawberry birthday!
    *here’s a little tip I have learned when working with chocolate molds- use condiment bottles(or something similar), fill with the melted chocolate. Keep the bottles in warm water so that they stay liquid. It really gives you control of the chocolate*

  28. Happy Birthday! Your pretzels turned out great and I am sure your guest will enjoy them. I have tried to make chocolate candy with the molds and it was a total failure (taste good but looked awful :). Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win one of your wonderful products. Always enjoy your projects and products! AJ – queenofmynest(at)gmail(dot)com
