Pretzel Wands
Cast your own spells with these pretzel wands! They're so pretty, tasty, and easy to make... you'd swear it's magic! Thanks to Family Fun online for providing inspiration for the recipe!
Ingredients:
◦1 bag of chocolate candy melts (can be substituted with a bag of chocolate chips)
◦1 package of long pretzel rods
◦Assorted decorative sprinkles (the more variation, the better)

Step 4: With the chocolate melted, take a pretzel rod, and cover about two inches of the tip with the chocolate. There are several ways to approach this, the easiest being to either dip the rod directly into the bowl, or else have a spoon handy with which you can scoop and spread the chocolate.

Step 6: Place sprinkled wand on a sheet of wax paper, and allow to cool until the chocolate has hardened.
