Chocolate-Almond Pretzels

• 45 gluten-free pretzel twists (such as Glutino)
• 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips {Check for Gluten}
• 3 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted and finely chopped

1. Arrange pretzels in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet.
2. Place chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute and 20 seconds or until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Spoon chocolate into a snack-sized zip-top plastic bag. Snip a tiny hole in 1 corner of bag; drizzle chocolate over pretzels, and sprinkle with almonds.
3. Let stand at room temperature 4 hours or until chocolate is firm. Store in an airtight container.
4. Toasting almonds gives them a richer, nuttier taste. Simply spread the almonds on a baking sheet, and bake at 350u0b0 for 6 to 8 minutes. Or, place the almonds in a dry skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes or until they're toasted. Be sure to watch them carefully-they can go from toasted to burned very quickly.
