Chocolate Bones

This salty and sweet snack gets gobbled faster than any at Fall festivities! You will need:

• bag of pretzel sticks
• white almond bark or white melting chocolate
• bag of mini marshmallows
• wire rack
• wax paper
• rubber spatula
• Pyrex measuring bowl or other microwavable bowl

1. Lay wire rack on top of wax paper. The wax paper will collect dripping chocolate to use later.
2. Stick one mini marshmallow on each end of pretzel stick and place on wire rack until rack is full.
3. Melt bark or chocolate in microwave 1 minute at a time, stirring each minute to keep from burning. Remember that chocolate piece can be melted by stirring the hot parts around.
4. Drizzle (my preference) the melted chocolate over the pretzel bones. When chocolate hardens I break it up and put back in my Pyrex to remelt for additional batches.

I have dipped the "bones" into the melting chocolate too. Drizzling is less messy for me. When dipping, your hand will accumulate chocolate in a layers and you still need to use a wire rack and wax paper to collect the drips from the pretzels. Serve "bones" in multiple shallow serving bowls to show off the pretzels as "bones". I assure you crunchy bones will take on a new meaning!

"Bones" can be seen in the orange bowl between Cleopatra and the witch.
