Vonn...its so easy..my little ones and I did it 2 weeks ago. I put
some choc chips in a 4 cup glass measuring cup and then
I add 1 tsp shortning(smooths it out), melt in micro
or double boiler(you can use the choc melts you get at craft store and
you dont have to add shortning.).

When melted, I dip pretzels in choc and put on wax paper to dry..at that
point I put sprinkles on if I want to.

If Im dipping pretzel twists, I use a chop stick to dip. just hang it on
and you are all set...just dont forget to tap the excess choc off before
you put it on the wax paper...........Its fun!!
