CHOCOLATE PRETZEL SWORDS

07/10/2020 by Christine Deitcher

“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.” ~Ephesians 6:16-17page2image23042048

Once you’ve had a chance to make your nature sticks even more beautiful, it’s time to make these pretzel sticks even more delicious! Make sure a parent or caregiver helps you heat up the chocolate!

Ingredients

  • pretzel rods
  • chocolate to melt
  • large sized marshmallows
  • sprinkles
  • parchment paper or non-stick mat

 

Directions:

Set up your workspace with parchment paper or a non-stick mat. Melt chocolate in the microwave, in 30 second increments, or in a large jar placed inside a crock pot filled with water. While chocolate is melting, put the marshmallows on the ends of the pretzel rods. Once chocolate is fully melted, drizzle it across pretzel rods (or carefully dip) and then cover with sprinkles before chocolate hardens. Feel free to use any small candies you have to make jewels to decorate your swords. Transfer your pretzels to the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to let chocolate harden. If you have leftover chocolate, feel free to dip fruit like strawberries or bananas into it to use up the rest of your chocolate!

About Saint James

There are a number of Saint Jameses in the New Testament – Saint James the brother of Jesus (‘St. James the Just’), Saint James the son of Zebedee (‘St. James the Great’) and Saint James the son of Alphaeus (‘St. James the Less’). The shells that adorn the outside of the parish hall (a symbol of St. James the Great) suggest that our parish is named for this St. James.

Site Dedication

This site was made possible by, and is dedicated to, the Loving Memory of Judy Dress.
