Ingredients: 1 package (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 dozen pretzel rods or large pretzel twists
Assorted sprinkles or small candies (optional
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions: 1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil.
2. Put chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave until melted, stirring after every minute. Or, melt the chocolate in a double-boiler over low heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Drop the whole pretzel in the chocolate and submerge it slightly. Use a fork to pull the pretzel out of the chocolate. Shake the chocolate-dipped pretzels several times to remove excess chocolate, and place it on the prepared baking sheet. If you are using sprinkles or small candies, sprinkle them on when the chocolate is still wet. Repeat with remaining chocolate and pretzels.
4. Place the pretzels in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
5. If desired, melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the pretzels for a decorative look. Briefly return the candy to the refrigerator to set the white chocolate before serving.
