Easy Chocolate Covered Pretzels and Peanuts
If you don’t know my now I love chocolate of any kind. Last year I discovered an easier way to make my favorite chocolate treats, with this stuff called Almond Bark at first I thought I want a chocolate flavor not an almond flavor, to my surprise it does not taste like Almonds at all. This discovery got my ideas starting and things turning in my head wanting to create more treats.
To make this it does take a little time with each pretzel but other then that it is fairly easy.
