Tips & Warnings
Although you may use white or chocolate almond bark, the white is more aesthetically pleasing and popular. Use colored sprinkles or mints to create a pretzel that is red and green for Christmas. If you would like to use these pretzels for a gift, wrap a few pretzels in cellophane or use the resources link to buy small baggies and tie with decorative string.
Almond bark can burn and be unusable if microwaved for too long. Be gentle when pounding the candy pieces so as not to break the resealable plastic bag.
