Ingredients
- 7 ounces milk chocolate chips (I bought 12 ounces but only used 7 ounces)

Melt Chocolate
Use a double boiler and if you don’t have a double boiler use a medium pot and a glass bowl that will fit on top of the pot. Add about 2 cups water in the bottom pot. Place bowl on top of bottom pan and add chocolate chips and 1/2 Tablespoon lard. Bring water to high simmer to a light boil and stir chips constantly until completely melted then remove from heat. If the chocolate seems to dry out gradually stir in the remaining lard.

Coat Pretzels
Once chocolate has melted dip pretzels into warm chocolate or use a spatula and spread the chocolate on the lower half of the pretzel front and back. Then dredge chocolate dipped pretzel in chopped nuts to completely cover chocolate. Place pretzel on baking sheet covered with wax paper. Continue to coat pretzels until all ingredients are gone.
