Almond Bark Pretzels {11 Pipers Piping}

If there is one thing that is an absolute holiday tradition around our house, it is making almond bark dipped pretzels.  My kids absolutely love them!  

I don’t know if it’s the salty mixed with sweet flavor or the fact that they’re fun for the kids to make all by themselves…whatever, they are always a “must make” around here each and every year.

This year, I’m sharing the recipe as a part of a special 12 Days of Christmas Tour:

It is Day 6, the final day of the tour and I am sharing my version of 11 Pipers Piping.  

You know the song, right?  

 

Sing it with me!  (Counting down from 12…)

12 Drummers Drumming

11 Pipers Piping

10 Lords a Leaping

9 Ladies Dancing

8 Maids a Milking

7 Swans a Swimming

6 Geese a Laying

5 Golden Rings

4 Calling Birds

3 French Hens

2 Turtle Doves

and a Partridge in a Pear Tree!!!!

 

Okay, so it’s a little dorky to conduct a sing-along, but don’t we all know the song?

 

And, what exactly does 11 Pipers Piping have to do with my almond bark pretzels?  

 

This year I made them using the large stick pretzels so they look a little like flutes or pipes.  

There are 11 of them, one for each Piper.

They are soooo easy to make.  I can hardly even call this a recipe but here it is…you’ll need pretzels, a package of almond bark and some sprinkles.

 

Directions:

Melt about 3 cubes (or more) of almond bark according to package directions. 

Dip the pretzels in the almond bark (I had to drizzle it with a spoon to cover the large pretzels)

Sprinkle with festive baking sprinkles.

Let cool for about 5 minutes.

 

That’s it.  Really.

I told you …. SOOOO easy!

    Julie, what a cute idea for the 11 pipes never would have thought to do this! They look delicious!

  2. Paula@SweetPea says:

    Yum! I love pretzels dipped in almond bark. It’s been a few years since I’ve made these and now I really want to do it again. This is a great idea for Eleven Pipers Piping!

    What a great idea! You’re right; the pretzel rods are reminiscent of pipes. Very clever to make 11 of them. I ended up just going with a general “12 Days of Christmas” theme; I’m glad you were able to come up with something specific to the day!

    Love those pretzel sticks…love it for the sweet and salty combination..my favorite!

  21. Kim Greene says:

    We make a lot of these during the holiday season…my daughter discovered if you melt the almond bark in a quart size mason jar you can dip them easily…and the more sprinkles the better!
