This is a very easy chocolate dessert/snack that all ages enjoy.  You have the salt and crunch of the pretzels and the sweetness of the chocolate.  I have a number of pretzel molds in different shapes such as Fourth of July, flowers, smiley faces, Christmas, Halloween, etc. and they are not very expensive.  Here are examples of what the molds look like:

Oct. 4, 2015 –  New Halloween mold and pretzels drizzled in caramel, cashews, white and dark chocolate…

Sept. 20, 2015 – How about chocolate covered fingers for Halloween?

Sept. 18, 2014 – Two new ones for Halloween – Chocolate Pretzel Rod Witches Brooms that I will be making  soon and witches’ shoes…

You can always dribble  the chocolate down the pretzel rods and use sprinkles for decoration.  However, there is at least one member in my family that does not like sprinkles so I always use my molds.

• candy melts in different colors at your local bakers store or Michaels, Penneys, etc.
• pretzel rods – Meijers sells a container where most of the pretzels are straight – very important if you are using molds.

For example if you are making 4th of July chocolate pretzels melt red, white or blue in the stars; chill in the refrigerator.  Pour a small amount of melted chocolate over the hardened stars and lay down one pretzel rod.  With a spoon cover the pretzels entirely; chill.

Pop out of the mold and with a knife trim around the edges.

Below are stars, flowers and smiley faces.  There are special bags for these chocolate covered pretzels.
