Chocolate-Covered Pretzels

1. 1

   Cover a baking sheet with waxed paper.

2. 2

   In a double broiler set over simmering water, melt the semisweet chocolate with 2 teaspoons shortening, stirring gently constantly; remove from heat.

3. 3

   Using tongs dip each pretzel in chocolate allowing excess to drip off.

4. 4

   Place onto waxed paper (if the chocolate in the pot begins to harden then reheat slightly).

5. 5

   If you are sprinkling any toppings on do it right after dipping into the chocolate so it will stick.

6. 6

   Place the coated pretzels in the refrigerator to harden.

7. 7

   After the pretzels have hardened place the white chocolate in a double boiler and melt over simmering water (or you could melted in the microwave).

8. 8

   Drizzle the white chocolate in small strands over each pretzel.

9. 9

   Return to waxed paper and refrigerate.
