I have been making chocolate carmel pretzels for a couple of years. The trick to make the carmel pretzels is to not melt the carmel but simply cut a chunk of maybe two inches and lay flat on a cuting board and cut strips of carmel and rollinto a long rope about 6 inches and simply wrap the carmel half way around the pretzel . I have a prepared baking sheet with lined with wax papper and lay the pretzel with the carmel part resting on the lip of the pan and the bottom resting on the wax paper. After I have all the pretzels that I am going to cover with carmel, I then melt my chocolate in a tall container and dip the pretzels into the melted chocolate and allow thre excess to fall back into my container. I place the pretzels on another wax papper lined pan and laythem at least an inch apart. I then use colored jimmies to decorate. You will need to do the chocolate and sprinkles one and a time because the chocolate will set up right away. I hope this is helpful I can make about 50 in less than an hour.
