4. Lay a sheet of waxed paper on a cookie sheet.


5. Place the chocolate covered pretzels on the waxed paper, and chill them in the refrigerator until they set up.


White Chocolate Covered Pretzels


6. Place the white chocolate squares in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until it melts, stirring constantly.


7. Dip the pretzel twist halfway into the melted white chocolate, covering half of the pretzel. Roll the pretzel in chopped nuts or candy sprinkles, if desired, and lay the them on waxed paper.
