Here is a frugal secret. 
If you buy your ingredients at a dollar type store, or on sale, these are very cheap to make. 
This recipe will make four nice tins of pretzels, and it costs under $3 a piece per gift, including the tins.
Or reuse your previous tins, and this gift would cost $1 a piece.
Now that is a lot of fun, plus something special to give away, for very little money.




Oh, Christmas Pretzels are so yummy.

So sweet and crunchy.




Merry Christmas !
