the winds keep howling.

hi!  welcome to baby missiles.  i've wanted to do a blog for awhile now, but could never quite figure out what i wanted to say.  so i spent countless hours gawking at others' wonderful sites, the ones that have drawn me in with pretty pictures, gorgeous outfits, beautiful words, and lovely sentiments.  and i decided to just post things i'd myself like to see at any given moment.  so enjoy, comment, question, and visit here often.  

oh, and it's only suiting that my very first post in this place contains something sweet, sugary, and delicious.  i want to make batches of these for all my sweet-toothed friends and give em out all winter long!




Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 2 minutes
Ingredients: 12 ounces chocolate chips, any variety. 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening. Pretzels (thick, not thin are best). Optional: 1 cup toppings such as M&M's, miniature gummy bears, chopped nuts, etc.

Preparation: Line two large cookie sheets with waxed paper. Combine chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 70 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Continue microwaving and stirring for additional 15 seconds each time until completely smooth.

Using a fork, dip each pretzel into chocolate mixture and gently tap off excess. Place on cookie sheet. Sprinkle on topping. Leave undisturbed until completely set. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Lick utensils clean.
