This one's definitely a kid favorite! Not only is it super easy to do, but it's actually kinda fun!
I've got a TV in my kitchen (because I pretty much live in the kitchen) and there's nothing I love to do more than find a movie from the 80's that I've seen umpteen times already, and get out a project like this!
What you'll need:
*1 bag chocolate or flavored chips (Semisweet, bittersweet, milk chocolate, green mint, white chocolate, butterscotch - the skies the limit!)
*1 bag pretzel rods
*Assorted toppings; jimmies, sprinkles, chopped nuts, coconut, cookie crumbs, and/or colored sugars
Place chips in microwavable bowl. (Be sure bowl and utensils are completely dry.) Cover with plastic wrap and turn back on corner to vent. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until chips are completely melted. Check frequently - and stir just as often.
Dip one half of the pretzel rods into the melted chocolate and decorate. Roll coated end of several pretzels in toppings of your choice. Drizzle others with contrasting colored chocolate.
Place decorate pretzels on wire rack set over baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Let coating harden completely. Do not refrigerate.
*** Now, when I did it, I didn't like how the weight of the jimmies and sprinkles worked with gravity, making the chocolate ooze down between the baking rack wires... so that's what I chose to use coffee mugs - if it decided to ooze, then it'd just ooze on down itself!
We had miniature pretzel sticks and I played around with those, too.
Now, this may sound disgusting, but BEAST (my dear hubby) was helping me, and we decided to play around with various household snacks that we could dip in chocolate!
Potato chips: He loved it, I didn't.
Fritos: SCORE! Delish! Try it!
Green Olives: Uh. Yeah. Just as nasty as it sounds...
Oreos: Well, there's a no-brainer!
Popcorn: Yummmmmmmmy!
Turkey Lunchmeat: (can't go on... I'm having horrible flashbacks...)
ENJOY!
