For this project you will need a bag (or two) of pretzel rods and a bag of chocolate wafers.  You can find the chocolate at your local craft store.  We used our Michael’s coupons to get these for a deal.    You’ll also need a pyrex measuring cup, knife or other stirring device, and waxed paper.

Pour some of the chocolate wafers into a Pyrex dish.  Then nuke them in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring each time.  I usually have to nuke them for about 1.25 – 1.5 minutes.

As I said before, I stir the chocolate every 30 seconds.  After 1.25-1.5 minutes, they should be about the right temperature.  If you find that the chocolate is too hot, then add a few more wafers to the mix and stir.  (Sorry, I don’t use a candy thermometer.)

After the chocolate is melted, just dip the pretzel rods into the chocolate.  You’ll probably have to tilt your measuring cup to the side. 

Here’s a rod that’s been dipped.  Make sure the chocolate isn’t dripping off the pretzel.

After you dip them in the chocolate, place them on waxed paper.  It make a take a few hours for them to set, so you might want to put the waxed paper on a cookie sheet so that you can move them out of your way.

To add a little color, you can use sprinkles if you’d like.

We had a little chocolate leftover, so we dipped some Oreos. 

Here they are on the table.  Quite a yummy treat!
