Here is something to make with the kids to celebrate the fourth:

4 oz chopped semisweet chocolate

2 dozen pretzel rods

red, white and blue sprinkles and colored sugar

 

In a glass bowl over simmering water, heat the chocolate until melted.

Dip each pretzel rod in the chocolate -about 1/4 of the top of each. Cover with sprinkles. Place the rods in glasses and put in the frig for 5 minutes to set the chocolate. Enjoy!
