Simple Chocolate-Covered Pretzels Recipe

Cover a plate or cookie sheet with waxed paper.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over hot water. It melts faster in smaller chunks. Stir occasionally to melt the recalcitrant bits faster. Even though the chocolate is not directly over the flame, don't let it sit too long after melting or it can get dry.

For ease of dipping, pour the melted chocolate into a bowl just wide enough to accommodate one pretzel. You might want to set this bowl in another bowl of hot water to keep the chocolate liquid.

One by one, submerge the pretzels in the melted chocolate. Pull them out with the spaghetti tongs and place them on the waxed paper. Refrigerate them to make them harden.
