Chocolate Dipped Pretzels Candace Moore Hill

Quick and yummy -- be ready for these to disappear quickly!

One bag of thick pretzel sticks
One bag of chocolate chips, any kind or flavor
A shaker of decorative sprinkles any shape or color
Waxed paper


	Find a tall, heavy-duty plastic cup and fill with chips. Heat in the microwave very carefully 30 seconds at a time. Heat until just melted and stir with a chopstick. Cover a cookie sheet with a sheet of waxed paper. Dip pretzel sticks, one at a time, in melted chocolate, not too thick. Lay out on waxed paper. After doing six or eight pretzels, sprinkle with decorations. These will take about an hour to dry hard.


	Lay flat in a container with a lid. Serve within two days. There should be enough melted chocolate to coat an entire bag of pretzel sticks, allowing for some breakage. Make enough to share with the teachers and everyone will want to know how you did it.

	I admire her for trying to "have it all!"
	Not sure how she's going to balance everything.
	She should focus on her kids, not her career.
