Chocolate-Dipped Pretzel Sticks

It is time for holiday sweets people!  And why not start with a fun and simple treat that you can share with your kids.  My daughter, Paige, played "The Dipper" role, so partial credit must go to her.  We whipped these out tonight just as a holiday teaser.  And I must say that they were fantastic.  Whenever you have a combination of sweet, salty and crunchy you know it will be good.

1/2 bag of mini pretzel sticks

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

4 tsp vegetable oil

and a dash of fun

-Combine chocolate chips and the oil in a small microwavable bowl.  Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes or just until chocolate stirs smoothly.  Dip pretzel sticks about 1/2 way into melted chocolate and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet.  Place sheets in freezer for 10 minutes.  Store refrigerated in a covered container.  Makes 8-10 cups.  Enjoy!
