√ Chocolate covered pretzel rods
Soooo super simple! Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods. Oh how I love my salty and sweet. JP will single handedly eat every one of these bad boys!
I figured I had to mix in some old stand-bys to make sure we didn't all have cookie overload and I could survive today!
Well, the recipe is a bit of a joke. It's not really a recipe at all but rather a list of needed items:
- Wax paper
- Plates with a flat rim
- Sprinkles, Jimmies, mini chocolate chips, whatever "little" add-on you want to roll your pretzel in. (think crushed heath bars, Oreos, etc.)
- Double boiler or saucepan and Pyrex bowl
- Pretzel rods
- Chocolate or white chocolate bark
- Imagination
Heat chocolate in a double boiler or in a Pyrex bowl over hot water. Once melted, use a spatula to cover half of the pretzel with the chocolate. Don't put it on too thick or it won't hold the "goodies". Immediately roll the chocolate covered pretzel in your choice of toppings that are spread on your plates. Once you are satisfied with the pretzel, lay it on the wax paper to harden. Easy-peasy for a frazzle day!
Eat on friends - but always keep it sweet!
