2 packages of pretzel rods
1 package each of milk chocolate and white chocolate melting chocolate (almond bark)
Assorted colored sugars, sprinkles, cookie decorations, etc..
Melt one of the chocolates in a microwavable safe bowl. Use 40 second intervals, stirring after each, until chocolate is melted and easy to stir. Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper for pretzel rods to cool on. You’ll also need a paper plate to catch excess sprinkles that fall off as you go. Using one pretzel rod at a time, coat the pretzel leaving about an inch and a half at the end where you are holding it. Once the rod is coated, swirl the rod around in a circle and shake excess chocolate off of pretzel rod so that it is evenly coated and not globed on. Use any one color or multiple colors of sprinkles to coat over the chocolate. Place rod on parchment paper lined cookie sheet to cool. Continue until all of the first chocolate is gone then melt the second batch of chocolate and repeat directions with it. You’ll find that the lighter colored sprinkles will show up better on the dark chocolate and the dark colored sprinkles will show up better on the white chocolate. Hold the pretzel rods over a paper plate as you shake sprinkles and then when you have accumulated enough, use what is on the plate to decorate a few of the pretzels. This will give you a few eclectic ones! This is a good sweet/savory snack that looks pretty, fun to make and nice to give as gifts.
