Candy-Covered-Chocolate-Dipped Pretzels

Instructions

Prepare a cookie sheet or two with parchment paper or a Sil-pat.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate 60 seconds. Remove and stir, and then warm in microwave for 15 second increments until it is smooth.

Start dipping the pretzels right away. I used a spoon to bring the chocolate up to where I wanted and it dripped down smoothly. Set rods on the cookie sheet.

Allow the chocolate to become slightly solid before placing the candy/toppings on. Otherwise I found they all slid to the side. I dipped 4-5 pretzels, waited a couple minutes and then started topping. (You have a good 5-7 minute window where the chocolate will still be soft enough to press the toppings in.)

Place each candy piece by hand because if you try to roll or sprinkle them on it really won't work and will end up with a sticky candy-glob mess.

If the melted chocolate in the bowl has started to harden, just give it 15 more seconds to get it back to it's nice melty-state.

Repeat with the rest of the pretzel rods/toppings.

Melt white chocolate (the same way you melted the chips) and drizzle over the pretzels with a spoon.

Place the tray in the freezer to quickly harden the chocolate and then wrap or store!
