Festively Decorated Dark Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Rods
Time: 30 minutes prep
Servings: 30 rods
Directions
- 1. Put the chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler. Add water in the bottom pan and heat the water to melt the chocolate chips. If you donât have a double boiler place the chips in a metal bowl or pot to cover the bottom one that has the water in it.
- 2. When the chips are melted, take off stove and dip each pretzel rod first in the chocolate about half way down the rod. Spread evenly with a knife. Coat the dipped pretzels with sprinkles, jimmies or colored sugars.
- 3. Place the dipped rods on waxed paper to let the chocolate harden. It will take about 1 hour.
- 4. Wrap each in plastic wrap to store or place in an airtight container, plastic bag, or a tin to keep fresh.
