Each year the granddaughters come over and we play with Ghiradelli Chocolate and Christmas pretzels from Sam's Club!

It all started when the oldest granddaughter was about 2 years old. She wasn't old enough to handle decorating "Christmas" cookies. But she was able to drop the Christmas shaped pretzels into the chocolate.

Simply melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler. When melted remove the top to a kitchen towel. This will soak up any moisture and be heat protecting and keeping. Let the little ones drop the pretzels into the chocolate. Grandma can fish each pretzel out with a fork and lay it on some wax paper.

The girls also like to sprinkle the wet chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles or with some white chocolate. Let dry. Then bag.

Store in air tight container in freezer for long periods of time. It helps to keep them from immediately disappearing!
