Chocolate Dipped Twizzlers


This recipe was prepared by Alexis Walsko of FM107 at the 2009 Home & Garden Show. Melted chocolate covers licorice and is rolled in crushed pretzels - it's pure bliss.

SERVES: 20
PREP TIME: 15 Minutes
COOK TIME: 120 Minutes

Ingredients

1 Bag Strawberry Twizzlers
2 Bags Semisweet Chocolate Chips
1 Bag of Pretzels
Waxed Paper

Directions

	Set Up:: 1. Set aside a few cookie sheets and cover with waxed paper. 2. Set up double-boiler to melt chocolate. 3. Crush pretzels so they are small pieces. Set into large shallow bowl.

	Preparation:: 1. Pour chocolate chips into top of double-boiler. As the chocolate chips heat, stir them with a metal spoon (an everyday flatware-spoon is fine). The melting-process may seem to go slowly at first, but it goes more quickly at the end. Once the chips are melted, you'll need to "whip" the chips. 2. Dunk 1/3 to 2/3 of your Twizzler in the chocolate mixture. Dip in your bowl of beat up pretzels and lay on wax paper to set. 3. Once you're done, you'll need to allow the chocolate to cool and harden: I would give this at least an hour, or preferably two or three hours.

	Tips:: If you don't have a double-boiler, place a metal mixing bowl on top of a pot which has water that has been brought to just boiling. Always use caution with a double-boiler as steam can escape. If you want to make more than one bag's worth, use twice as many bags of chocolate chips as bags of Twizzlers (assuming a bag of around 12oz). For instance, if you have 2 bags of Twizzlers, then you'd need 4 bags of chocolate chips. I prefer dark chocolate with Original Twizzlers
