SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
* Crock-pot
(Using this will allow you to keep your chocolate melted the entire time you are making the pretzels and not burn the chocolate, highly recommended)
* Ramekins or Small Dishes
* Heat resistant bowl (not plastic)
* Wax Paper
* Fridge or Freezer (optional)
INGREDIENTS:
* Dark Bakers Chocolate (any other kind of bakers chocolate can be substituted)
* Sprinkles
* Bag of Pretzels
HOW TO MAKE:
*Step 1: Put your bakers chocolate in your heat resistant bowl. (2 or 4 squares at a time)
*Step 2: Put your bowl into your crock-pot and turn on high, put lid over top. Let set for 20 -30 minutes or until melted. (Bakers Chocolate usually keeps it's bar form even though it is melted until stirred)
*Step 3: While chocolate is melting, prep an area by laying down wax paper for your drying covered pretzels. You can cover a pan that can be easily moved to the fridge to cool or leave on counter/table.
*Step 4: Using your dishes, fill one with sprinkles and leave the other empty. Do this for each color sprinkles your use.
*Step 5: Using your tongs pick up a pretzel and dip into your melted chocolate. Let chocolate dry for 15 - 20 seconds. (This will keep them from dripping)
*Step 6: Hold your pretzel over the empty dish and pour your sprinkles over the chocolate on the pretzel. Cover to your desire.
*Step 7: Lay covered pretzel on the wax paper to dry.
*Step 8: Repeat steps 5-7 until your wax paper is covered. You can let air dry or put in your fridge or freezer for a faster dry. This allows the chocolate to harden.
*Step 9: Eat & Enjoy!
