If all you want to do is coat the pretzel sticks, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work to just melt the chips in a double boiler and dip the stick into that.
I’ve never been a great fan of this nor made it, but hopefully someone will have a good recipe.
Thanks for the tag tip! I’ve missed a few pings this month, obviously!
I found the trick w/ avocados is buying only those that are slightly soft.......so when you get them home, they’re “almost” ready to use.
Not so with those finicky pears.
I would eat more pears if they weren’t so darn DIFFICULT to gauge.
I use a service called ‘Imperfect Foods’ where you get ‘ugly produce’ that wouldn’t sell other wise. They have MONSTER carrots that go to the mule, and I’ve been using them for about a year now, so I know what’s good to order and what is a waste of money. For example - I got pears that went strait from rock-hard to mush; no in-between! Not crazy about their TINY avocados, and their celery hasn’t been very impressive; limp!
Anyone that wants to look into using this service, let me know. I can give you a referral and I win a free Grapefruit or something, LOL!
I think they are up to serving 25-30 states so far. The company is based out of CA but your food will be shipped locally. Mine comes out of Chicago to SW Wisconsin. Cost is $45 minimum order plus shipping of $8 or so, but you can also get grains and meats, organics and CHOCOLATE. Their boneless, skinless chicken breasts and boneless porch chops are really good! It saves me a trip to the grocery store each month.

Oh man, I did NOT need to know about this recipe...LOL
Thank you very much, I will have to try it.
You would think so but the chocolate never wants to stick.
This pretzel confection is beyond addictive......
My Grandma used to make those. They are SO good! :)
And you never had the recipe?
Same as with octopus: you have to drive over it with a car before cooking.
Saw a meme on Facebook of a marijuana sprig coated with batter and fried.
The caption is “When the South legalizes marijuana.”
🤤
Sounds like marijuana tempura.

Wisconsin...say no more. ;>)
The FIL of my dads partner was raised in Wisconsin and every year made the trip to visit with SIL and grandaughter. And always brought several long blocks of aged Cheddar. Mom and dad received one or two every year. These blocks filled the fridge shelf front to back. One block went to our church, rest split up between neighbors. In suburban Maryland we had cheese for years.
The FIL was an interesting man, made grandfather style clocks from bicycle gears and chains, steel angle iron and anything else that struck his fancy. Clatter and sparks were key attributes, nothing like Swiss cuckoo clocks. The Smithsonian took two for an exhibit ....kind of an Americana Rube Goldberg thing. Also made black powder cannons for the grand kids and neighbors. Well loved by all as he continued making stuff well into his 80s.
It is!
