My kids love to make these at Christmas!

We take either Almond Bark or White Chocolate Chips and melt them in the microwave. Then dip your pretzles with a fork and place them to dry on a large piece of waxed paper. I would think you would then sprinkle the nonparils on or as you said, roll them...just make sure they've cooled a bit.

The sprinkles.They are called nonparils.My favorite ones are on those snow caps you used to get at the movies...yum...I could really use a box of them.
I bought some of the pretzel sticks from church for gifts from a sister who sold them to raise funds for Mothers Memorial but I sure would love to make them myself.They were so nicely wrapped with a cute Valentines Ribbon.I could have eaten a ton of them but I refrained from it.lol..I am going to buy the stuff and
give it a try.The ones I bought were the large pretzel sticks.
