pour the chocolate melts from one of the bags into one of your microwave proof bowls
Melt chocolate according to the package directions
*I like to put the chocolate into the microwave for 1 minute - stir until smooth and if needed, pop it back in for 30 more seconds - stir until smooth
Place down sheets of wax paper for your chocolate to set up
-
One at a time, dip about 20 of the pretzels from the bag into the melted chocolate
-
Use your fork to scoop the pretzel out - tapping any excess chocolate off of the pretzel
Transfer the chocolate covered pretzel onto a sheet of wax paper
Do not use all of the chocolate in the bowl. Leave some for decorating
Continue until you have dipped all 20 pretzels
Repeat with each color of chocolate
-
If needed, place the remaining chocolate into the microwave to melt it again
-
Insert a fork into the chocolate, hover over the chocolate pretzels while waving the fork back and forth to decorate them
Do the same thing for each color until all of the pretzels have contrasting chocolate colors
Let the chocolate dry
Care and Storing your chocolate covered pretzels...
Chocolate covered pretzels should be stored in an airtight container in a cool place, but not in the refrigerator
When serving, keep pretzels out of extreme heat, so the chocolate will not melt
