I know this is supposed to be a crafty holiday guide, but I had to include this simple treat in the list in case you find yourself needing to provide a snack at an office holiday party. I don’t like baking much and I don’t have the time to create four dozen sugar-coated almond cookies. Grab a bag of pretzel chips and chocolate chips from Costco and dig around your cabinets for some Girl Scout cookies. You won’t be sorry. 
Chocolate-covered pretzels with Thin Mint sprinkles — No. 7 on Alaska Knit Nat’s DIY Holiday Craft Guide
Ingredients:
- 48 or so Pretzel chips (or regular pretzels)
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6 Thin Mint cookies
Directions: Process Thin Mints in a food processor until coarsely ground. Set aside in a bowl. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 3/4 cups chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in increments of 30 seconds, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted. Add the remaining 1/4 chocolate chips and stir until melted. Dip half of each pretzel in the chocolate and place on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with a pinch of Thin Mint crumbles. Place cookie sheets in the fridge for 15 minutes or until chocolate is set.

Just received your e-mail regarding the quick holiday snack. I’d like to try making them but don’t have any mint flavoured Girl Guide cookies. Could you please suggest an alternative? Sorry I can’t call you by name alaskaknitnat.
Hi Faye,
Great question. What about Oreo cookies? Ground up peppermint candies or Christmas-colored sprinkles might work too. Or just make chocolate-dipped pretzels with no topping. The salt on the pretzels adds a great contrast of flavor to the sweetness of the chocolate.
Thanks for commenting,
Natasha (hence the Nat in Alaska Knit Nat) 🙂
Thank you for your prompt response Natasha. Chocolate with no topping sounds good to me.
