Shsss, don't tell! ;)<br /><br />The weather is def. a factor. Humidity in the air and a warm day (or warm kitchen) tend to affect the dough. That said, its really not a difficult recipe, just takes a bit of care. <br /><br />Thanks, Margaret! :)<br /><br />Catherine - thanks and I hope you have a great holiday season as well! :)<br /><br />Krissy - I thought the same thing when I saw those cool chocolate pretzel trees you guys did.

As for the icing recipe ... er ... it doesn't exist. I literally dump an entire box of confectioners sugar into a bowl, add a dash of vanilla extract and some milk. No measuring, I just add whisk in a little milk at a time until the consistency feels right. <br /><br />If the icing starts to thicken as the hours progress, I add a couple of drops of water and re-whisk. <br /><br />How do you make your icing?The Diva on a Diethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336939733516236525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503494355334157272.post-11324290569561020642009-12-21T13:34:38.199-05:002009-12-21T13:34:38.199-05:00Love that you need to call in reinforcements.
