CANDIED PRETZEL PARTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a small double boiler or in the microwave. Put the sprinkles, coconut and peanuts on 3 plates or a baking sheet.
• Remove the paper from the caramel rounds and use the paper or parchment paper to line a baking sheet. Spray the paper lightly with cooking spray. Use sharp kitchen scissors to cut each caramel round in half.
• Holding the caramel lengthwise, wrap the top half of each pretzel stick, pressing the seam to secure. Place the wrapped pretzel sticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to slightly melt the caramel and allow it to adhere to the pretzels, about 5 minutes.
• Working quickly, press the pretzels into the toppings of your choice, turning to make sure all sides are coated. Drizzle with the white chocolate mixture. Let cool completely.
• Arrange the pretzels sticks in glasses for serving.

PRETZEL BITES WITH QUICK CHEDDAR DIP

Steps:

• Make Pretzel Dough:
• Stir together warm water and yeast in a large bowl and let stand until a creamy beige foam develops on the surface, about 10 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)
• Meanwhile, in a smaller bowl, stir together flour, salt, and light brown sugar.
• Add flour mixture and butter to yeast mixture, and stir together first with a wooden spoon and then with your hands, until it forms a dough. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough until it is smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes, dusting with more flour as needed if dough sticks to work surface.
• Transfer dough to a lightly oiled large bowl and turn over to coat with oil. Cover with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and let rise in a draft-free place at room temperature until doubled, 2 to 3 hours.
• Alternatively, after kneading, let dough rest at room temperature for 15 minutes, then transfer to oiled bowl as above, and let rise in the refrigerator overnight (12 hours or up to 2 days).
• Punch down dough and divide into quarters. Form each quarter into 4 balls. Roll each ball into a 12-inch-long rope. Cut each rope into six (2-inch) pieces, and transfer to wax paper-lined rimmed baking sheets.
• Bake Pretzels:
• Heat oven to 450°F with racks in upper and lower third. Well oil 2 large baking sheets (about 17- by 12- inches).
• In a 4- to 5-quart saucepan, bring water and baking soda to a boil (mixture will be foamy at first, but foam will dissipate). Add 12 pretzel bites and cook 30 seconds (they will rise to the surface almost immediately), then transfer with a slotted spoon to baking sheets. Quickly sprinkle pretzel bites lightly on both sides with pretzel salt before they dry (so salt sticks). Repeat with remaining pretzel bites, returning water to a boil between batches.
• Bake pretzel bites in oven, switching sheets between racks and rotating sheets halfway through baking, until deep chestnut brown, 8 to 10 minutes (watch closely toward end of baking; bites brown quickly in last few minutes). Immediately transfer pretzel bites to wire racks to cool.
• Make Cheddar Dip:
• Purée cheese with 6 tablespoons wine or water in a food processor fitted with knife blade, stopping and scraping down sides with a spatula occasionally, until mixture is creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Thin to desired consistency with additional wine or water, adding it 1 tablespoon at a time. Serve immediately, or chill, covered, and return to room temperature before serving.

MALL PRETZELS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast, brown sugar and salt in 1 1/2 cups warm water. Stir in flour, and knead dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover, and let rise for one hour.
• Combine 2 cups warm water and baking soda in an 8 inch square pan. Line 6 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• After dough has risen, cut into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a 3 foot rope, pencil thin or thinner. Twist into a pretzel shape, and dip into the baking soda solution. Place onto parchment covered baking sheets, and let rise 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with coarse salt, garlic salt or cinnamon sugar.

DILLY PRETZELS

Steps:

• Spread pretzels in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Combine oil, dressing mix, dill, lemon-pepper and garlic powder; pour over pretzels and mix well. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Cool. Store in an airtight container.
