The first time I have ever had a chocolate covered pretzel, was when my mother made them in our kitchen. That first taste was just pure heaven. We would stay up playing cards and snacking on these delicious treats. Sweet and salty, the perfect combination for any late night snack.

Like all normal children, my brother, sister and I would fight over them. I would always count them out while we divided them up, one for you, one for you, two for me…..and so on. My sister would get on to me because of course she is older and knows better than that. We still laugh about those times.

At Pro-gift-baskets.com we have our Caramel & Chocolate Halloween Pretzels that would be a great gift for anyone. They are dipped in the finest chocolate, and one that I can’t wait to try, the rich creamy caramel. They are then adorned with Halloween candy sprinkles, to give it that special holiday distinctiveness.
