Pretzels-Chocolate-Messy-Sprinkles-Candy

We'll start with this story first i guess. So my sister-in-law, Kelli, Steven's lil sister came over the other night to make Chocolate covered pretzels for a pot luck we are having Halloween night. So i saw on a website these really fun and pretty looking chocolate covered pretzels that i've been wanting to make. So we gather up all the stuff and I start melting the chocolate in the microwave. Kelli was making the carmel. I started with the white chocolate. The directions say put in for one minute at a time then stir and continue till it looks done, thats what i did and Steve and Kelli kept saying do it longer its not melty enought, so i did. After a little bit a brown bubbely color caught my attention, I open the microwave and its BURNT. Well the picture below is what i got after listening to them BURNT and FRIED. So we tried again, and this time i was only going to do it for a short amount of time, Kelli then takes the second batch and puts it in, she said if it burns again it will be her fault i said okay. It Burned again, not as bad but def. not useful. Her batch is the picture above.
Here are some pictures of our very creative night.


















Lets say we got better and better as the late night went on, we dipped some in carmel let them sit then redipped them in chocolate, then sprinkles then another fun design with chocolate, i know sounds good right, they were so good.


These two trays are our final projects. They turned out so cute. It was so fun. We kept saying over and over, we should open a candy shop. Steve kept turning to T.V. on louder and louder while we cooked and made noise in the kitchen.
