How to Make the Chocolate Covered Prezels



Melting White Chocolate

Place your chocolate pieces in a heat proof bowl and place over a pot of simmering water.  Stir constantly until melted.

Make sure that the bottom of the bowl does not sit in the water; it should also fit snuggly over the pot to avoid steam from escaping.

Avoid getting any water into the chocolate as it will thicken.  Always use a dry utensil when stiring the chocolate.

When completely melted and lump free remove from the heat.  Allow to cool slightly.
