Chocolate-Covered Pretzels

I don't know why I hadn't made these before. They are so easy and delicious. You can use any kind of prezel you want and any kind of chocolate you want. I did these for Valentine's Day, but I know I'll be making them for pretty much any holiday for which I can find fun sprinkles.

Chocolate-Covered Pretzels



4 ounces chocolate, cut into small pieces
Pretzels (I could cover 7 rods with 4 ounce of chocolate)
Sprinkles or other candy decorations (optional)

Melt chocolate for 30 seconds in the microwave in a heat-proof bowl. Stir, and then heat again for another 30 seconds. Stir, and then heat again for another 15 seconds. Stir until totally melted and smooth. (This all might depend on how hot your microwave runs, so keep a close eye on it, and make sure you stop heating it when most of the pieces have melted completely.)

Dip your pretzels and place them on a piece of wax paper. Sprinkle with candy, if desired. Let set up completely, and then enjoy!
