CHOCOLATE-COVERED APRICOT-PECAN PRETZELS
Salty pretzel rods dipped in a caramel, apricot and pecan mixture and covered with dark chocolate make a deliciously different treat during the holidays. I usually place them in a coffee mug and cover the present with colored plastic wrap to give as gifts. -Aysha Schurman, Ammon, Idaho
