Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz.) bag dark chocolate chips, see shopping tip
- 1 (10 oz.) bag pretzel rods
- Candy sprinkles, colored sugars or jimmies for decorating
Instructions
- Put chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler. Add water to the bottom pan and heat the water to melt the chocolate chips. If you don’t have a double boiler place the chips in a metal bowl or pot to cover the bottom one that has the water in it.
- 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.
- Place the dipped rods on waxed paper to let the chocolate harden. It will take about 1 hour.
- Wrap each in plastic wrap to store or place in an airtight container, plastic bag, or a tin to keep fresh.

I love Ghiradelli 60% bittersweet chocolate chips. Or you could use the semi-sweet chips.
