I'll be Home for Chocolate...



With all the festive goodness around me, I was in the mood for some creative baking... (imagine that!). So I looked up a few recipes that included pretzels...and decided on Chocolate Chip Pretzel Bars...DELISH!!!

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, plus butter for pan
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup organic sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup bittersweet chips
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate bar, chopped
  • 1 -1 1/2 Cups Pretzels, chopped
In a large bowl combine butters, sugar, and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time until blended. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Bake in a greased casserole dish at 350 for 20-24 minutes.



We had a small dinner party for our parents tonight! I set the table to bring all the Christmas cheer into the meal as possible! I had a lot of fun...I'm already planning our next dinner party...I love making menus! Too fun! :D

Now, I just can't wait for tomorrow, all kinds of fun things planned!!! =)

Your table is beautiful and anything chocolate is good! Planning dinner parties and menus isn't my thing at all though, definitely no fun there for me.
