Great treat!! Savory, sweet, and crunchy!!!! I could not find my usual good quality white chocolate so I used 3 (3.52 oz) white chocolate Toblerone bars and cut the recipe in half. Swiss Toblerone have clean ingredients of just pure chocolate and they have honey and almond nougat too so it made the treats even better! I was glad I didn't find my regular white chocolate because melted Toblerone bars are awesome with this!! Love this recipe, thanks for posting!!!

This is great to bring to a party or to package up pretty for a gift for Christmas. I also sometimes substitute rice crispies in place of the pretzels and that's really yummy too!!! The best kind of good is the easy kind of good, especially at this busy time of year.
