Pretzel Wreath & Cranberry Bark?

[pamperedlinda]

Hey Jilley,

This is always a hit, and oh so easy!

Caramel Apple Dip
8 ounce package of Cream Cheese (regular or light)
One 18 ounce tub of Caramel Apple Dip
2 Skor or Heath candy bars
3 Granny Smith Apples

• Soften the Cream Cheese and place it on a SA serving plate. Spread it out a little thinner into whatever shape you like.
• Top with half of the container of Caramel Apple Dip.
• Chop Candy Bars using the Food Chopper. Sprinkle over caramel.
• Cut Apples into wedges using the Crinkle Cutter and place around the dip.
• Enjoy!


Use SA for the dip. I use the small square with the dip and place it diagonally on the med sqaure and put the apples in the corners - or I use the rectangle tray and put the dip in the middle and the apples on either end.

Cut the apples with the crinkle cutter or the apple wedger. Soak them for a few mins in sprite or 7up - this will keep them from turning brown and not change the taste of the apples.

Use either one of the SA spreaders or the new bamboo knife for the apple dip.

I"m at it again!I decided to package them 2 to a package. This way, there isn't an ugly side if you put them back to back and it seems a little more substantial. I'm going to set this up at my shows this month so people can see different ways to use the coating trays. I never bread anything, so these wouldn't appeal to me, but like this...I like it!

Tara, great idea to package them up back to back!

I would say make some wreaths ahead of time, but have everything set out so that people can see how to make them. I'm assuming there is a microwave. You could also make the 1 minute simple additions/prep bowl cakes throughout the hour. I just did them for my daughter's birthday last night and they were great. I also but a can of frosting into the microwave for a little while so that I could drizzle it over the cakes.

great idea! Ice cream topping works great on these too. Have a buch of plastic spoons and tell everyone not to 'double dip'!

I need help. Next week, I am doing an open house type thing at my work. It will be about 50-75 employees coming in and out. There isn't an oven, so I am going to show the pretzel wreaths...should I already have them made or sample how to make a few. With people coming in and out, I thought I could just have everything set up with the battle bowls set up and the pretzel wreaths...but maybe I could show how to make these items right in the beginning and then just start talking about the items after. I want to make it as easy as possible for about an hour and then take orders. Thoughts?

Even a quicker apple dip.

Use our carmel sprinkles 2 tblsp with 1 pkg of cream cheese and spread on square plate and drizzle chocolate zig zag on top.

looks wonderful and elegant and very very simple and yummy.

great ideas ladies. I am gona practice this week on stuff. I love the apple dip. I want to just have little things for people to much on. Think it is much more fun. I have a microwave real close to me, so I can keep showing the wreaths...I think that will work

Can the cranberry bark be made without the rectangular stone? I only have a small bar ban, large bar pan, and large round stone w/ handles (the latter two will not fit in my freezer). Any suggestions? TIA =)

 

[PamperedinAvon]

Anyone? =)

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Anyone? =)

I would think any stone that would fit in your freezer to get cold would work just fine.
Or if you have the rectangle chillzanne server - that would work too.

 

[Jilleysue]

I love these ideas. Awesome

Now I can't wait to try out the wreaths!!!

Jill it is so good to see you back on here!!!

I love the wreaths, in fact my MIL wants to order them from me and give them to her office for the holidays. I am so excited!

Just made the wreath yesterday and it was soo easy! Very cute looking and got oouuuhhhs and ahhhs from showing it all wrapped in cellephane with ribbon! And then I had extra chocolate so I covered 2 wooden spoons with it and sprinkled with the carmel sprinkles! Yummy looking!

for my Hoilday open house I had put on the invite "if your name appeared as a Top Host in any 2007 issue of tasty tidbits be sure to remind me to give you your special gift"
Guess what they are getting !!

I saw candy cane (peppermint) bark at Walgreens for .99 cents. I think that would look so pretty on the wreaths. It's white with red speckles. I just wonder if it would melt the same. It looks like they are selling it just to eat as is.

You could make your own candy cane bark by chopping up candy canes w/ the chopper and adding them to the white bark.
