Simply melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave according to the package instructions until fully melted. Roll or dip pretzel rods in melted chocolate, use a spoon to help cover the pretzel in chocolate and tap or scrape off the excess chocolate. Lay the pretzel rod wands on the parchment paper.
