Ingredients:

1 pack long pretzel rods
1 pack vanilla candy coating
Decorations, such as red and green sprinkles, holiday M&Ms or crushed up candy canes

Procedure:

1. Place the candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl.

**Note: Make sure you do not get any water in the bowl. Any water at all will cause the candy coating not to melt properly and separate.

2. Microwave the candy coating for a minute, then stir. Microwave for an additional minute, until it is completely melted and smooth.

3. Stick a pretzel rod into the chocolate, and with a spoon, cover about 3/4 of the pretzel with chocolate. Let the excess drip back into the bowl.

4. Sprinkle the chocolate with either red and green colored sprinkles, crushed up peppermints, or stick red and green M&Ms to the chocolate.

5. Place the decorated pretzel on a piece of waxed paper or aluminum foil, and let it dry completely, about an hour. Gently pull the pretzels off the paper.

Creative Idea: You can stick your decorated pretzels to your cookies and serve them like these. Let your creative mind work!
