Santa Hat Pretzels

I saw a pic of these on Pinterest so I thought I'd try to make them. Super cute, fairly easy and people go nuts for them! Plan on making a practice batch before you bag them up as gifts or serve them to guests.  The chocolate takes some getting used to!

Supplies to make a ton:
1 large bag of mini pretzel twists, traditional shape
2 bags of meltable white chocolate
1 jar of red sprinkles
1 bag of mini marshmallows
Wax paper

Getting Ready...
1. Lay out wax paper sheets and arrange individual pretzels out in rows. Turn them sideways.
2. Cut marshmallows in half so that they are thinner than usual. Place in bowl nearby.
3. Fill bowl with sprinkles.
4. Melt white chocolate in the microwave, about 1-2 minutes, stopping halfway to stir. Stir until smooth. Very smooth.
5. Working in batches of about 6 at a time, spoon chocolate over half of the pretzel. Cover in sprinkles and attach a marshmallow half. You can only do a few at a time or else your chocolate will harden and nothing will stick to it.
6. Allow Santa Hats to cool completely before peeling off wax paper, about 10 minutes.
