However, there is one dessert that I can’t resist: my grandma’s pavê!...

I’m one of those people who loves dessert for breakfast. Whether it’s a glazed donut, a slice or two of banana bread, or a fruity blueberry muffin, I can’t say no.

Around our house, it often gets lost somewhere in the back of the fridge. Before you know it, it’s gone bad, with no way to save it. Not only did I just waste food, but money as well.

My Grandma Dorothy was famous for her collection of homemade cookies and candies at the holidays. Her chocolate-covered pretzels with peppermint were my greatest weakness. As simple and innocent as white chocolate-covered pretzels might seem to the inexperienced, few treats can bring me to my knees like these salty-sweet gems.
