Like Dirty Dancing or Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, somethings are best left untouched. 

Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Peanut Butter Blossoms are some of those items that really should be left alone.

No matter what new spin you put on them, the classic recipe is still my favorite.

The same could be said for chocolate covered pretzels with crushed peppermint on them. I make them every year and they are always perfect just as they are!

With the bright cheery colors and the sweet, salty, minty mix of flavors…they just can’t be beat! Plus they don’t require a lot of time…or an oven!!
