- We melted our chocolate chips using a double boiler. To do this, find a metal bowl that sits comfortably in a pot. Fill pot with water, just high enough not touch the bowl. When the water boils, the steam will melt the chocolate and not burn it. Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula.
- Line a small (about 9 x 11 or so) baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread melted chocolate across parchment paper using rubber spatula or pastry knife, coating evenly.
- Line up pretzels and push them into chocolate on the pan.
- Top pretzels with crushed candy canes.
- Put remaining chocolate into a ziploc (or pastry bag). Cut a tiny piece off the corner with scissors and Voila! Now you can squeeze the bag of chocolate and drizzle onto pretzels.
- Put in fridge for 30 minutes or so.
- Break apart and serve however you'd like, or eat it straight off the pan (as my family did).
