Ingredients:
1 pound milk chocolate wafers
1 pound miniature pretzels
2 ounces red chocolate wafers
2 ounces green chocolate wafers
|
Instructions:
In a large glass bowl, melt the milk chocolate in the microwave. Start with 1 minute then stir and put back for another 15 seconds and stir again. Continue until the chocolate is completely melted and soft. Do not burn. Add the pretzels and stir to coat. Pour them out onto a sheet of parchment paper and spread with a silicon spatula into a single layer. Allow to cool for a few minutes. Melt the red chocolates in a glass bowl, then the green chocolates in a separate bowl and pour into a pastry bag or squeeze bottle to drizzle evenly over the chocolate-covered pretzels. When they are completely dry and hard, you can break up the pretzels and store them in an airtight container or portion for gifts.
