CARAMEL PRETZEL PUPPY CHOW

Steps:

• Start by making the caramel. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the brown sugar. Once the sugar melts, add the cream and vanilla. Whisk together and bring the caramel to a bubble. Let it bubble steadily and thicken for 10 minutes while stirring frequently. Then remove from the heat.
• Lay out some parchment paper on your counter. Then one by one dunk the pretzels in the caramel. Let sit and dry for 15 minutes.
• Next melt the chocolate. First combine 1 tablespoon cream and the chocolate chips in a pot over medium low heat. Once melted, add the nutella and stir until just melted. Then add all of the pretzels and stir to coat them in chocolate.
• Pour the chocolate covered pretzels in a thin layer over the parchment and let them dry for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to break up any pretzels that are stuck together.
• Place the chocolate covered pretzels in a large ziploc bag and pour the powdered sugar in. Shake to evenly coat the pretzels with the sugar.
• Pour into a bowl to serve or package up to give as a gift.

PRETZEL DOGS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the yeast and sugar over 2 cups of warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 20 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
• Combine the yeast mixture with the warm milk, oil, and salt in a large mixing bowl; stir well to combine. Stir in half of the flour mixture until no dry spots remain. Stir in the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be moderately stiff and slightly sticky. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Spray a large bowl with cooking spray, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
• After the dough has risen, fill a large pot with about 8 cups water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the baking soda and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. While the water is coming to a boil cut the the dough into 20 pieces, about the size of a golf ball. Roll each piece into a 12 inch long rope about 1 1/2 inches thick.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
• Dip a strip of dough into the boiling water using a pair of tongs, count to 5, remove it from the water, and place it on a paper towel for a few seconds. Wrap the strip around a hot dog, place on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with coarse salt. Repeat with the remaining strips of dough and hot dogs.
• Bake in a preheated oven until they are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

PUPPY CHOW

Steps:

• Place the cereal in a large bowl. Melt the chocolate and peanut butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Microwave in a bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until nearly completely melted, then stir to melt completely. On the stovetop, stir in a small saucepan over low heat. Off the heat, stir in the vanilla.
• Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the cereal and stir vigorously to coat. Refrigerate until the chocolate is cool, tacky and less shiny than melted chocolate, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Spread the cereal in an even layer on a sheet pan. With a spoon or fine-mesh sieve, sprinkle some of the powdered sugar evenly over the cereal, add a pinch of salt, then toss with a spoon or your hands, or both, until evenly coated. Repeat with the remaining powdered sugar (adding the sugar in batches ensures it doesn't all soak into the chocolate). Set aside to set, at least 5 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 4 days, or in the fridge or freezer for months.
