UPDATE......Those who make chocolate dipped pretzels...

what do you use to package them?

I have made them in the past, but this year I want to make them for stocking stuffers at my DH job.

What kind of little bags/wrappings can I use and where can I get them?

UPDATE:
So I made for my DH job:
chocolate dipped pretzels
Peanutbutter surprise cookies
Softbatch Chocolate Chip cookies

michaels had for $1 each mini ceramic bread pans with pretty holiday decorations. I lined them with parchment paper, but 2 of each in, then wrapped with celophane and ribbon.

I should have taken a picture. They looked AWESOME!!!

you can use colored cellophane and then wrap some curling ribbon around it or some christmas ribbon.

Re: Those who make chocolate dipped pretzels...

You can probably get small gift boxes at Michaels or AC Moore to put them in and you can package them with wax paper.

I use the cellophane bags. You should be able to find them at Michaels or at The Chocolate Duck in Farmingdale.

Once I start dipping the pretzels, I want to dip everything.

Hmmm...marshmallows, oreos, ritz crackers....even swedish fish (in white chocolate)

They are so easy to make. I usually make my DH help me...I dip and he decorates them, this way I don't have to stop dipping. Gets done quicker.

And since they will be for his job, at least he can take some credit for them.Chat Icon

Your good old fingers. I keep it neat and use just 2
But, that is why I have my DH help me, he decorates them as I put them on the wax paper lined cookie sheets.
