SkinnySubmission: Chocolate-Drizzled Pretzels

This recipe for the popular sweet and salty snack comes from Shannon of Skinny Sometimes. Check out her site and follow her on Twitter.

Ingredients:
160 mini pretzels
16 pieces of Wilton’s Dark Chocolate Candy Melts
1 tablespoon of canola oil

Cover two large baking sheets with wax or parchment paper. Lay the pretzels flat on the sheet so they are touching and there is not a lot of room between them.

Melt the chocolate in a microwavable bowl for 30 seconds at a time until melted.

Stir the tablespoon of oil into the chocolate. Carefully drizzle the chocolate over the pretzels with a spoon or using a piping bag.

Let the chocolate harden, speed up the process by putting the baking sheets in the fridge.

Store in an airtight container and ENJOY!
