Chocolate Football Pretzel Rods

Chocolate Football Pretzel Rods – sweet and salty, dark and white chocolate dipped pretzel rods. A delicious game day treat that screams team spirit!

Are you ready for some Football? I am declaring the rest of the month to Football Food aka Game Day Treats. My beloved Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs, next stop the Super Bowl, and my Sunday’s are Packer parties and Football Food.

The next couple of weeks I'll be sharing Game Day Treats with you. Then it will be time for Valentine’s Day Sweets.

As a Wisconsinite and Green Bay Packers fan a lot of my football treats will be Packer green and gold. If you’re rooting for a different team you can easily substitute the colors for your favorite team.

Today’s football food share, Chocolate Football Pretzel Rods, is a little bit sweet, a little bit salty, and screams team spirit. Whether you’re team is the Packers, you’re rooting for your favorite team, or you’re just watching Super Bowl commercials, these Chocolate Football Pretzel Rods will make the perfect Game Day Treat.
