OK  So I was totally planning on giving you a rad (yeah i say rad) Fourth of July cupcake recipe…but then I came across these “sparklers” and was all like “DUH, I make these at Christmas time, why not for the 4th!” (OK truth:  I will not be making shit. I am bed/wheelchair bound for a while, but y’all can email me for my shipping address. ;p)

They are so simple and easy and I LOVE chocolate (especially white chocolate) and pretzels together.  And everyone KNOWS sprinkles makes everything better!

I found this picture and recipe over at Martha Stewart’s fancy website.  but lemme tell you guys something…I have been doing this for YEARS.  Martha probably stole it from me.  THAT BITCH. Ok truth: I am n a lot of meds and some of them make me a *little* rage-y.

Anywho, these are fun and easy and the kids can pretty much do them alone. Well aside from the whole melting chocolate thing.

Here is what Martha had to say about it: (Word for word) Like most sparklers, these are extinguished after a short while — with several large bites. To make two dozen, place 4 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted; remove from heat. Using a pastry brush, coat the upper third of each pretzel rod in chocolate. Cover with sprinkles; stand pretzels upright in a glass. Place in the refrigerator until firm, about 5 minutes.

I mean I didn’t talk to her myself, but one of her minions typed this up on her site.

Here is what I do…  You can get this really awesome melting chocolate in white, regular, or dark now that you bust up and melt in it’s own container.  You just microwave it, stopping to stir and making sure you don’t over cook it b/c you will burn that shit.  Have some wax paper laid out, pretzels out, and several different combos of sprinkles.  If you are really feeling creative you can color portions of the chocolate, well only the white chocolate…OR you can buy “Candy Melts” that come in several colors already and they melt in the microwave too.  So, just dip the pretzel stick in, then dip/roll in sprinkles and let them dry on the wax paper.  It is really so simple, cute, and YUMMY.  You can use any pretzels you want really, just the long sticks are easier for handling.

That’s what she said.
