Peppermint Chocolate Covered Pretzel Treats

Create a double boiler by putting a metal bowl over a small pot of water. Place the chocolate in the bowl and begin to melt over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

In a plastic Ziploc bag, place unwrapped candy canes and seal the bag. Take a meat pounder or other hard object and break up the candy canes into smaller pieces.

Once the chocolate has melted, use a spoon to roll the pretzel rods in the chocolate, leaving about 1 to 1.5 inches of pretzel visible. Sprinkle while turning the rods with the crushed candy cane pieces or sprinkles. Place on parchment paper and let cool.

Store in an airtight container.
