Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Special Extra:
To make candied pretzels, cook 2 Tbsp. each brown sugar and dark corn syrup, and 1 Tbsp. butter in medium skillet on medium heat until butter is melted and mixture is heated through, stirring frequently. Add 2 cups small pretzel twists; cook and stir 5 to 7 min. or until sugar syrup darkens in colour and begins to bubble. Spread pretzels onto parchment-covered baking sheet. Melt 1/4 cup chocolate chips as directed on package; drizzle over pretzels. Let stand until chocolate is firm.
Variation:
If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag instead. Spoon whipped cream into plastic bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to pipe whipped cream onto cheesecake as directed.
Variation:
Prepare as directed, omitting the liqueur.
