Chocolate covered pretzels

 

Getting started - ingredients

Get the ingredients. I used a bag of Wal-Mart Great Value pretzels, you may wish to go with something a little higher quality. Next, get a slab(?) of Plymouth Panty Almond Bark -- either chocolate or vanilla, they're both good. Get some wax paper to put the pretzels on to dry. You'll need a bowl, fork, and some way of heating the almond bark.

 

Melt the almond bark

Melt it however you want. I put 3 of the sqares of almond bark in the microwave for about 1.5 minutes. It doesnt really deform from just being heated, so just try stirring it with the fork afterward. Repeat with another 3 squares (1/2 of the total slab). You want it to be as runny as possible so make sure its good and melted.

 

Add pretzels

Once the almond bark is melted, toss some pretzels in. I usually add 5-8 at a time.

 

Pick a pretzel and tap off excess chocolate

Pick one pretzel at a time and make sure they are covered in the chocolate. Scoop it onto the fork. Tap the fork against the bowl rim a few times to get some of the excess chocolate off. Note: this can be annoying to roommates if you do it at 1:30 AM

 

Lay it onto the wax paper to dry

Line them all up on the wax paper so they are not touching. Depending on the temperature in your place, they may take 10-20 minutes to completely dry and harden on both top and bottom.

 

Keep going until you're out of chocolate

You're going to want to make a bunch, because they go really fast.
