LINDA'S CHOCOLATE DIPPED PRETZEL RODS
Looking for something fun to make for Valentine's Day or Easter? Grab your holiday sprinkles, and have fun! These are a yummy treat for kids and adults alike! I made these for co-workers and family members during the holidays, and put some in gift baskets for Christmas. You can also change the M&M's and use the pastel colored ones for Easter to put in the kiddies Easter Baskets... You can make them for any of the holidays, by just using different holiday jimmies and candies... I wrapped in green and red saran wrap and tied with a coordinating ribbon for Christmas. They look pretty enough to put on top of Christmas presents or packages, use as party favors for kids, or as a place setting using a name tag tied with a ribbon to each one, so the kids know where their seats are. I have dipped them in caramel and then chocolate and sprinkled with nuts and M&M's. I have also used chopped candy bars such as Butterfingers. You could even use the little cinnamon hot red candies for Valentine's Day! Or put those cute candy hearts with the little sayings down the front with some sprinkles. The sky is the limit. Use your imagination, and I am sure they will work fine for you too. Great to do as a fun day with the kiddies too!

Steps:
- Put the chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler.
- Put water in the bottom pan, and heat the water, to melt the chocolate chips in the top pan.
- When chips are melted, take off stove, and dip pretzel rods first in the chocolate to about half way down the rod, then dip the tip into the sprinkles about 2" down the chocolate, and lay on waxed paper.
- Let the chocolate harden a good 1/2 hour.
- I wrapped mine individually in green saran wrap for the holidays, to keep them fresh.

Steps:
- 1. Melt the almond bark over a double boiler. When melted, remove the double boiler to a hot pad (keeping the hot water underneath). Spread waxed paper on a flat surface. Make small piles of your sprinkles/ jimmies/ etc. Dip the pretzel rods about 1/2 way up in the chocolate then roll in the sprinkles. Lay on waxed paper and let sit for a good hour or until chocolate hardens again.
- 2. If you have left over chocolate, make some nut clusters. I poured in a handful of dry roasted peanuts and made peanut clusters with the excess chocolate. You can use any kind of nuts you have left over from Christmas baking.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for dipping. This will make a big difference in the taste of your pretzels.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave. Just be careful not to overheat it, or it will seize.
- To make the chocolate coating even smoother, you can temper the chocolate. This is a process of heating and cooling the chocolate in a specific way.
- Be sure to let the pretzels cool completely before dipping them in the chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set properly.
- If you want to decorate your pretzels, you can use sprinkles, nuts, or other toppings. Be creative and have fun!
Conclusion:
Chocolate-dipped pretzel rods are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great gift idea. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of chocolate-dipped pretzels that will be enjoyed by everyone.
