Chocolate Dipped Pretzels

My sister-in-law Mary Jo gifted

us with these delicious pretzels one

Christmas and we've been making them

ever since.

These are fast, easy, fun and

NO BAKING!

I buy melting chocolate at our

local cake decorating supply store,

but you can use regular chocolate chips.

Line a deep bowl with waxed paper

to save on clean-up later.

Fill with white or dark chocolate chips and

microwave on high for one minute.

Stir thoroughly and microwave for

another 15-seconds.

Stir again.

Continue this process at 15-second intervals

until chocolate is smooth like this.

(Do NOT microwave for longer than 15-second intervals!)

I have burned the entire batch by being impatient

and destroyed expensive chocolate.

Set out long strips of waxed paper on your kitchen table.

I buy these braided twists at Sam's club,

but you can use smaller, shaped pretzels, too.

Dip each pretzel halfway into the chocolate

then plop onto the waxed paper.

While still melty,

add your favorite holiday sprinkles.

Your kids will LOVE to help

dip and sprinkle...

even teenagers!

These easy dipped pretzels make

great teacher gifts...just package in

festive bags and tie with a ribbon.
