A Simple Creative Idea for Office Potlucks

Potlocks may be the easiest way to throw a quick party, but thinking of something appropriate to bring can get a little tough.

Holiday parties are the supposed to be the time and place to have fun and relax, not a time to spend extra time and money trying to make an extravagant dish to bring to your office’s holiday party. Luckily, there are many recipes for those who like to get a little crafty and are on a budget. Decorative pretzels are an easy and fun way to go when you are short on time but still want to bring something that everyone will surely love.

The materials you will need are a bag of pretzel rods, chocolate, any kind of toppings like crushed nuts, candies, or coconut flakes and a baking sheet lined with wax paper.

The first step is melting the chocolate according to the directions on the package. Once the chocolate is melted dip a pretzel rod into the chocolate until it is covered half way. Allow any of the excess chocolate to drip off before sprinkling your toppings onto the chocolate covered pretzel. Once the pretzel is fully covered place it onto the baking sheet and allow the chocolate coating to harden, and just like that you are done.

This recipe is not only extremely easy to make but there is also room for you to use your imagination. You could use any kind of chocolate and even butterscotch and caramel morsels to coat your pretzels. Different kinds of cookies could be used as toppings and you could even get creative by finishing off the pretzel with an extra drizzle of chocolate. 

Making these pretzels may get a little messy but it will only remind you that the holidays are all about having fun.
