We had a fantastic time making our chocolate dipped pretzels.
This led to chocolate dipped marshmallows.
These goodies are going into our family recipe book to make for treats in the future.
Easy recipe for chocolate dipped pretzels:
12 oz chocolate chips (we used semi-sweet)
2 tablespoons butter
Bag of pretzel rods
Melt the chocolate and the butter in the microwave and then dip. We had an easier time putting the chocolate on a rubber spatula and then rolling the pretzels in the chocolate on the spatula. We put ours onto foil to get solid and then I stored them in an air tight container.
The other fun activity we did this past week was to go to an indoor trampoline place with a group of friends. I did not even know such a place existed but it does and it was packed with jumpers and observers. (In the photo above, Amanda is facing us in the teal and my youngest son has his back to us in the shorts.)
All of my children had a blast bouncing and jumping and laughing for a solid hour before they declared it was enough! (In this one Amanda has the purple shirt and my middle son is in the shorts.)
We will definitely be going back to this place soon.
Fun stuff!

The treats look yummy and the trampoline place looks like fun! My daughter's current sport is trampoline and I almost get jealous watching her... it looks like so much fun! (Though I'd never be brave enough to try what she does! And, she hasn't been in a month because of her broken wrist.)
Anyway, it looks like you all are having a wonderful Winter Break. Keep having fun!!!
That looks like a ton of fun!!!
Wow the trampoline place looks like so much fun!! I don't think I would ever be able to get my kids to leave!! Have a wonderful winter break!!!
The pretzels and marshmallows look yummy.
We also do this with those old fashioned peppermint sticks -- then we eat them, or we even use them as stir-sticks for coffee or hot tea. Yummy !!
Merry Christmas to you and yours !

My kids are begging me to make a back yard full of trampolines. How fun!
