Chocolate-Dipped Pretzels

I make these all the time for special occasions, in fact, making them tonight for my neices shower. I do the licorice in white chocolate which is wonderful and also looks pretty, I cut them in threes and just do half of it. also, I put chrushed nuts and jimmies on the pretzels. In fact, I also do chocolate covered double stuffed oreos and whatever else I can find around to dip. YUMMY!!

I make these all the time, I also roll them in crushed nuts and add jimmies, I do the licorice in white chocolate which is wonderful.

question how much shortening do you add to semi-sweet chocolate chips to coat pretzels or other food products?

This is for adventurous chefs.

oh, and i forgot, chocolate covered red licorice is also delicious - like a turkish delight chocolate bar!

my family and i have made these with a caramel coating first, then the chocolate coating, and then drizzled white chocolate overtop - so good! and you could do this on grannysmith apples too: caramel, chocolate and then chopped nuts.

So yummy and so easy. Used pretzel-shaped pretzels instead of rods. The perfect last-minute sweet snack!

I had no idea how simple this was going to be to make. So easy, so great!!!
