CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS 
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tsp. vegetable shortening
25 twisted pretzels
1/2 c. chopped nuts

Combine chocolate chips and shortening in a mixing bowl. Microwave for 1 minute; stir with rubber spatula. Microwave on High for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until melted; stir until smooth. Carefully remove chocolate from microwave. Place a sheet of waxed paper on counter near the melted chocolate.

Dip the pretzels into the melted chocolate and place on the wax paper. Let cool for about 1 hour or place in refrigerator for about 15 to 20 minutes (first put wax paper on cookie sheet to be put into refrigerator).

Top with nuts after they're dipped in chocolate while it's still warm.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

This recipe is pretty good. Just remember to watch how much nuts you put in it or put in none at all.

It tastes great if you use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and drizzle melted white chocolate chips on top.

Great recipe!!! Love it!! I put mint extract in mine, it made it taste soooo much better. I also sprinkled coconut on some, also sprinkled just plain colorful sprinkles to add a little Christmas touch. I'll make this again!!

Easy recipe with excellent results. For the price of the chocolate chips and a bag of mini pretzels, you can make so many more compared to store bought. In addition, you can customize them to your taste. Great for a special occasion and kids especially loved them!!
