Family Favorite: Easy Chocolate Pretzel Jumble

Hi loves!
I have a super simple (like crazy simple) sweet treat for you today! 
Everyone loves chocolate and pretzels, their like peanut butter and jelly. They just are meant to be together! Over the years I've been making a variation of the traditional chocolate covered pretzel that has become a highly requested family favorite! I don't know why, but everyone loves these things! I would say they are a cross between a chocolate covered pretzel and a cookie (only because of the shape, really). Now, I will admit, these aren't the prettiest sweet treats on the dessert table, but they are so good, it doesn't even matter! They've jokingly been called several things over the years in my family, such as Reindeer poop, Snowman poop, etc. All quite unappetizing descriptions lol, but then again when you have a big, crazy family, someone is bound to say it LOL! I choose to simply and lovingly call them Pretzel Jumbles! :)

What you'll need:
1 Bag of Make'n mold chocolate wafers (any flavor is fine, or any brand of chocolate wafers)
2-3 cups of broken pretzel pieces


Instructions:

1. Chop pretzels in a food processor (a blender will work, or place pretzels in a plastic bag and beat with a rolling pin). Chop until pretzels are in small pieces and you have about 2-3 cups of broken pretzel pieces (depending on how chocolately or pretzely you want them to be).
2. In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate wafers on 30 second intervals until smooth and completely melted.
3. Pour broken pretzels into melted chocolate and combine. If mixture seems too thin, add more pretzels until you reach your desired consistency. 
4. While still warm/ melted, spoon tablespoon sized (think the size of a baked cookie) onto wax paper or aluminum foil.
5. Allow chocolate to cool/dry completely before removing.
6. Store in an airtight container.


Again, not the prettiest dessert, and you won't be all "WOW! They look amazing and so yummy!" by them, but they will be loved by everyone who comes into contact with them! I make tons of these every year for the holidays and let me tell you, come the New Year, there is not a trace of them left over! If you have even a half hour of spare time, whip up a batch of these babies! Your friends and family will thank you and ask for them year after year! 

Hope you all have a sweet and beautiful holiday! ♥
