Ingredients
 

  • 12 ounce bag of pretzel rods
  • 12 ounces of chocolate almond bark
  • 12 ounces of vanilla almond bark
  • 1 package of Christmas sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to lay the pretzel rods on to dry.
  • Place chocolate and vanilla almond bark in separate microwave safe bowls.
  • Melt the almond bark according to package instructions (usually its about 1 minute of microwaving). Stir the almond bark to ensure it is smooth and all the way melted. Microwave in additional 20 second increments if needed.
  • Pour the almond bark into a two tall glasses to make it easier to dip (one glass for vanilla and one for chocolate).
  • Dip the pretzel and then give it a gentle shake and allow some of the excess chocolate to run off.
  • Lay the pretzel on the parchment paper.
  • Decorating with sprinkles: Before the almond bark dries, toss on sprinkles.
  • Decorating with almond bark drizzle: Allow the pretzel to completely dry and then use a spoon to drizzle on almond bark of the opposite flavor. Drizzle in a back and forth motion.
  • Allow them to dry and transfer to a platter to serve.

Notes

Other tasty toppings: red and green mini m&ms, mini marshmallows, or mini chocolate chips.
Store in an airtight container on the countertop for 1-2 weeks.
