Christmas Dipped Pretzels

• 1 package pretzel rods

White chocolate chips or baker's squares (we did dark chocolate too)

Red baking chips

Green baking chips

• 
  
• 
  

Directions

1. MELT white chocolate chips or baker's squares.  Begin by placing in the microwave for 1 minute, then stir.  Microwave again in 30 second intervals, stirring in between.  Continue until smooth.
2. DIP one end of pretzel into melted white chocolate.  Use a spoon to cover additional portion of pretzel, then twirl the pretzel slowly against the spoon.  This will remove the excess white chocolate AND give you a nice looking twirl!
3. ALLOW pretzels to harden, about 30 minutes.
4. MELT red and green baking chips in the same way you melted the white chocolate.
5. PLACE pretzels in a line on parchment paper.  This will make it easier to drizzle over all pretzels at once.
6. DIP a fork into the melted red chips and wave quickly over the pretzels.  This will drizzle the red over the pretzels without globbing.
7. DIP a fork into the melted green chips and wave quickly over the pretzels.
8. ALLOW red and green to harden, and enjoy!

Pretzel Pecan Turtles

• Square "Snaps" pretzels
• Rolo chocolate candies (or Hershey Kisses)
• Pecans (or M&Ms)

Directions

1. PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with tin foil.
2. PLACE pretzels on baking sheet.  Place a Rolo candy (or Hershey Kiss) on top of the pretzel.
3. INSERT baking sheet into oven for roughly 3 minutes, testing periodically.  Rolos should be easy to depress, but not melted over or bubbling.
4. REMOVE from oven and immediately press a pecan on to each Rolo, flattening the chocolate candy.  If you are not using pecans, press the M&M on top of the Rolo (or Hershey Kiss).
