" Is there anything better than the salty-sweet combo of chocolate and pretzels? We don&amp;#039;t think so! Here are 5 ideas for simple sweets that you can make in minutes. Grab your favorite type of pretzels, chocolate, and toppings--it&amp;#039;s definitely time for dessert! All of these treats take only minutes to put together (plus cooling time--if you can wait that long!) and can be made using ingredients you already have at home. Use what you have on hand and add on your favorites. Don&amp;#039;t have toffee bits lying around? Smash up a heath bar or try butterscotch chips, or even chopped nuts. Want to boost your chocolate bark? Add marshmallows or mini M&amp;amp;amp;Ms. Party-Time Pretzel Sticks  In a small bowl, microwave on High 8 oz. chopped white chocolate, stopping to stir every 20 seconds until melted. Dip each of 16 pretzel sticks halfway into the chocolate and allow excess chocolate to drip off. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with multi-colored confetti sprinkles. Place on parchment-lined cookie sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until set. Tiny Toffee Tidbits  In a small bowl, microwave on High 4 oz. semisweet chocolate, stopping to stir every 20 seconds until melted. Dip each pretzel piece (I used Snyder&amp;#039;s Sourdough Nibblers) halfway into melted chocolate. Place on parchment-lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with toffee bits. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.  Simple Sea Salt Caramel Rods Coat a microwave-safe bowl with cooking spray. Unwrap all caramels from a 14-oz. package and place in bowl. Microwave on High, stopping to stir every 20 seconds, until completely melted. Dip each pretzel rod halfway in caramel, then drizzle with melted dark chocolate. True salt fans: top them off with a sprinkle of sea salt. Chocolate Bark with a Bite  In a small bowl, microwave on High 16 oz. semisweet chocolate, stopping to stir every 20 seconds, until melted. On large cookie sheet, spread chocolate mixture to about 1/4-inch thickness. Top with small pretzels and sprinkle with coarse salt. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set. Mini Buckeye Bars  In a small bowl, microwave on High 16 oz. semisweet chocolate, stopping to stir every 20 seconds, until melted. Spread smooth peanut butter onto one side of a waffle-shaped pretzel and top with a second pretzel. Dip the sandwich into melted chocolate, making sure to coat all sides. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour. What&amp;#039;s your favorite way to eat pretzels? On top of ice cream, dipped in Nutella, in a snack mix? We&amp;#039;d love to know! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
