Ingredients

2 1/2 package semisweet-chocolate squares
chopped toasted nuts
chopped dried fruit
flaked coconut,
almond brickle chips,
mini peanut-butter pieces,
green and red sprinkles
12 baked pretzel rods

Instructions

Place chocolate in 4-cup measuring cup or large glass bowl. In microwave oven, cook, covered with waxed paper, on High 2 to 3 minutes, until almost melted, stirring occasionally until smooth. (Or, in 3-quart saucepan, heat chocolate over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth.)
Meanwhile, place each topping choice on sheet of waxed paper.
Holding 1 pretzel rod at a time over melted chocolate, spoon some chocolate over pretzel to coat, leaving about 2 inches uncoated at one end. Immediately sprinkle coated pretzel with choice of topping. Carefully place coated pretzel rods in pie plate or shallow bowl, leaning uncoated portion on edge (try to keep pretzels from touching one another) and refrigerate about 15 minutes to set coating.
Apply a second coating of melted chocolate and choice of topping to each pretzel as above; refrigerate about 15 minutes to set coating. Store at room temperature in tightly covered container, with waxed paper between layers, up to 2 weeks.
