Rocky Rods

By RoketJSquerl

I found an amazing hole-in-the-wall cake/candy store, where you can buy big hunks of caramel. It is basically like buying a giant one of these. I sliced the caramel very thin, and then wrapped a piece around the top of a pretzel rod, very carefully. Then, I dipped them in chocolate and let her go nuts with the sprinkles. They were amazing!!! Now my friends and neighbors feel like they have to remind me that they are looking forward to the pretzel rods every year – just so I am sure to make them.

Ingredients

• 1 package of Pretzel Rods

Preparation

Step 1

Slice the caramel very thinly – if you can’t get it thin – try rolling it out afterwards with a rolling pin. Wrap it around the top part of the pretzel rod. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler, or using the microwave in 30 second intervals – stirring well after each one. Dip the pretzels into the melted chocolate – you may need to use a spoon to make sure that the chocolate covers the caramel. Place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Decorate with sprinkles quickly before the chocolate melts.
