    List of Ingredients




    14 oz. bag of caramels
    2 tsps. water
    Nonstick cooking spray
    10 oz. bag pretzel rods
    1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
    2 tsps. vegetable shortening (No Butter)
    1 cup very finely chopped pecans



    Recipe



    Unwrap caramels and place in a 2 cup glass measuring cup. Add water. Microwave on High (100 percent) power 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every minute, until caramels are melted and smooth. (For ease of stirring, coat spoon with cooking spray.)

    Coat a sheet of foil with cooking spray. Dip half of each pretzel into hot caramel; twirl to coat. Let excess drip from pretzel, and then place on coated foil.

    Place chocolate chips and shortening in a clean 2 cup glass measuring cup. Microwave on High for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until shortening melts, stirring after 1 minute. Stir until chocolate melts. Dip caramel- coated end of pretzel sticks in chocolate; roll tips in nuts. Refrigerate immediately. Remove from refrigerator about 10 minutes before serving.

    Yield: 24 pretzel sticks.
