• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
• candy sprinkles (optional)
• miniature M&M's chocolate candies (optional)
• mini Reese's pieces (optional)
• chopped peanuts (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Melt milk chocolate chips in double boiler or in microwave (be careful not to burn in the micro).

2. 2

   If you are using the white chocolate, wait until later before melting unless you can keep it over warm water.

3. 3

   Dip each pretzel rod about 2/3 of the way up in chocolate.

4. 4

   Lay on wax paper lined baking sheets, lining up the rods but leave a bit of space between them.

5. 5

   Allow to set a little, but not completely dry (while waiting, make sure your white chocolate is ready).

6. 6

   Dip a fork into the white chocolate and drizzle over the milk chocolate by gently swishing the fork back and forth over the rods but not touching them.

7. 7

   Place your sprinkles or candies on a paper plate and roll each pretzel rod in desired topping (or just sprinkle on).

8. 8

   Lay back on wax paper to set completely.

9. 9

   These look great displayed in, or given in, a unique glass or mug.
