Strawberry Pretzel Salad Sticks

Staci at Random Sweets
The tartness of freeze-dried strawberries goes nicely with the salty pretzel rods and the sweet melted cream cheese chips. Pretty treats for Valentine's Day gifts.

Servings 24 pretzel rods

Ingredients
  

  • 24 pretzel rods
  • 8 oz HERSHEY'S cream cheese flavored chips
  • 2.4 oz freeze-dried strawberries , 2 (1.2-ounce) packages
  • 1 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil, optional
  • Valentine sprinkles, optional

Instructions
 

  • Place the freeze-dried strawberries in a shallow container long enough to roll a pretzel rod. Crush up the strawberries into bite-size pieces with your fingers.
  • Lay out a piece of foil or wax or parchment paper so you can place the rods with melted chips on it to cool.
  • If using sprinkles, have them ready.
  • Place cream cheese flavored chips in a pot and slowly melt over low heat. OR, place in a microwave safe bowl and melt the chips in the microwave. Optional, add 1 teaspoon of canola or vegetable oil to make smoother.
  • Dip the pretzels in the melted chips at least halfway down the rod. Tap off the excess. Immediately roll in the crushed strawberries, and/or drizzle with sprinkles.
  • Place pretzel on the foil or paper and let cool until hard, about 10 minutes. Store in airtight container.
