Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I can't believe Christmas is tomorrow, its definitely come around quick as I really don't feel very Christmassy at all. I haven't even got round to watching Elf yet!! Today I'm showing you how to make some Christmas treat ideas, these are super quick to make and taste yummy.
M&M Pretzels
This first recipe are for these super yummy chocolate pretzels. They take about 5 minutes to make and don't require much effort at all. To make these chocolate pretzels you will need:
-A bag of salted pretzels
-A bag of M&M's
-Two bars of milk chocolate (however you could use white or dark if you prefer)
The first step is to place your pretzels on top of some greaseproof paper on a baking tray, you then want to place a square of chocolate on top of each pretzel. Placing the baking tray into a preheated oven at around 170 degrees you want to melt your chocolate ever so slightly for about a minute or two so it is soft to touch. Once ready you want to place an M&M on each chocolate square. Now for the hard part, waiting for the chocolate to set before you can eat them! Once the chocolate has hardened enjoy!
Peppermint Bark
Peppermint Bark is probably my favourite treat at Christmas, the Candy Canes make it super festive. This recipe is also a super quick treat with the hardest part again waiting for the chocolate to set. For this recipe you will need
-Two bars of chocolate (I've just used milk but white also taste super nice!)
-Around 5/6 Candy Canes
This quick Peppermint Bark is so simple feel like it really doesn't need a recipe. All you need to do is melt your Chocolate and crush your Candy Canes. To crush your Candy Canes I just personally put them into a sandwich bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Once your chocolate has melted you want to mix around three quarters of your crushed Candy Cane into the chocolate and our it onto some greaseproof paper making sure it is spread out evenly. With the remaining Candy Cane just sprinkle it on top of the mixture and place the tray into the fridge to set.
Festive Hot Chocolate
I'm a big fan of having a hot chocolate in the evening snuggled up under a blanket to watch a movie and what a better way to jazz up a hot chocolate and make it all festive with a candy cane. I found these Tumblr-esque Mason Jars in Tescos for only £3 each!
For this festive hot chocolate you will need:
-Hot Chocolate powder of your choice
-Milk or Hot Water (whatever you like to make your hot chocolate with)
-Whipped Cream
-A mug or glass of your choice
-A Candy Cane
To start of with you want to make a hot chocolate to your personal preference, for mine I used half milk and half boiling water, whisking the powder as I go. To top of your hot chocolate just add some whipped cream and top it off with a candy cane. Voilà your finished, enjoy!
I hope you guys find these Christmas treat ideas useful for making some treats over the festive period for you and your loved ones. I hope you have a great Christmas and eat loads of food and have lots of fun! Merry Christmas everyone!
Lots of Love, Katie xx
