Easy Chocolate Pretzels

Today I thought I would do some last minute Christmas preperations by making some delicious chocolate pretzels. These are so easy to make so I thought I'd share. 

You will need: 

• Traditionally shaped pretzels 
• Chocolate dipping wafers 
• Smarties 

Arrange pretzels on a baking sheet.  Place one dipping wafer upside down on each pretzel (the “tip” of the wafer rests in the centre whole of the pretzel): 

 

Place in a 225° to 250°F oven for 1 to 1 ½ minutes until the chocolate is softened/slightly melted. (My oven - 225°F for 1 minute 40 seconds.) Do NOT over bake! You may have to play around with the temperature and time to get the perfect result. You want the chocolate to be softened, NOT melted. It should look like this when it comes out of the oven: 

Place one smartie on each dipping wafer:

Let cool. You can put your tray in the freezer to speed this up or in my case outside in the snow!

The pretzels are now completed. These make a very easy and tasty gift and can be made at any occasion Christmas, Easter, Valentines Day etc... Enjoy!
