A friend made these treats and gave them away in pretty canning jars. The combination of sweet, salty and peppermint is just right. Try dipping them in white candy coating and rolling them in crushed candy canes for variety. —Michelle Krzmarzick, Torrance, California

Ingredients

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon shortening
  • 1 package (10 ounces) pretzel rods
