Pretzel Peppermint Bark Recipe

A delicious twist on an old favorite Christmas candy. The pretzels in this candy give a light salty flavor that enhances the sweetness.  A little really does go a long way. I love dark chocolate with a white drizzle but you can use milk, dark, white, or semi-sweet in any combination you choose.  It makes a lovely hostess gift in a pretty box. Treat for your mailman, hairdresser, or give it as a thank you gift for your pet groomer.  I make  a double batch, because I like to keep this on hand at all times during the holidays for myself- you know, for emergencies…

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
