I make these often for bake sales and around the holidays. They are so adaptable for any special event and great for all ages.

30 chocolate pretzels (change servings and units)

Ingredients

10 ounces pretzel sticks (Pretzel RODS)
12 ounces milk chocolate chips (or melting disks)
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
Melt milk chocolate chips in double boiler or in microwave (be careful not to burn in the micro).
2
If you are using the white chocolate, wait until later before melting unless you can keep it over warm water.
3
Dip each pretzel rod about 2/3 of the way up in chocolate.
4
Lay on wax paper lined baking sheets, lining up the rods but leave a bit of space between them.
5
Allow to set a little, but not completely dry (while waiting, make sure your white chocolate is ready).
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
Place your sprinkles or candies on a paper plate and roll each pretzel rod in desired topping (or just sprinkle on).
8
Lay back on wax paper to set completely.
9
These look great displayed in, or given in, a unique glass or mug.

I didn't follow this recipe but make these often, with a twist. I make homemade carmel from the Nestle (I think) website and dip the pretzels in that first, then in chocolate, then in chopped pecans & finally drizzled with white chocolate. My neighbors can't get enough! I've also used chopped marshmallows as a topping, for the kiddos. I've also rolled in rice krispies after the carmel and then in the chocolate. It's just like a candy bar - YUM! So easy yet so extravagant - I highly recommend dipping in caramel before chocolate - it's the only way I make them now!

I make these all the time. I make a powdered sugar icing and dye it with food color to match the holiday and drizzle it on them too. They always look so festive at Christmas and the Fourth of July.

Though I haven't made your exact recipe, I make these often too. You are right that they are great around the holidays and make great gifts for neighbors, teachers, bus drivers...etc. They look impressive for how easy they are. Also try dipping them in caramel, then rolling in pecans, then dipping in chocolate and drizzling with white chocolate!! Yummy!!

Try drying the rods in a glass instead of on the wax paper. It works GREAT!
