OK, so start with caramels. These were hand delivered from the US, so I wanted to do something special with them. I would've unwrapped them all at once, but the temptation for "1 for the recipe, and 1 for me" would've been too much to handle.
Place a caramel between two pieces of wax paper.
Take a rolling pin and turn that deletable cube into a nice, thin oval.
Then place three little pretzel sticks in the center of the caramel and wrap it around the sticks.
After you've prepared 15 or so, realize that you can actually roll out more than 1 caramel at a time! I switched to 4 at a time and then business started booming.
*(At this moment, a big glass of milk is nice to balance out all the sampling.)
Next up is to melt the chocolate. Everyone uses a double-broiler, but for those of us who aren't as fancy, we use a saucepan of hot water and a metal bowl. The trick is to not let the water boil. It's a test of patience and I failed the first time and aced it the second. I used the Ghiradelli candy-making chocolate and love it. I don't think you can go wrong with chocolate chips and milk though.
Then start dipping!
If you have little helpers nearby, they are perfect Christmas sprinkle sprinklers.
There you have it. Now what should I name these little bites of heaven???

oh. my. goodness. Those look awesome!!
I assume you are telling us how to make these because you didn't make any for us which, honestly, is slightly disappointing. But...I'll probably get over it since I'm sure you'll make some for us next year :~)
Wow, impressed! Those look so yummy, and actually look fun to make! I am sure if i try this i will fail at the chocolate at least twice!
Wow, those look yummy! The recipe sounds really simple and easy. I'll have to try them some time.
