Before we start, I would like to tell you two things. First, chocolate burns very easily, and also you cannot ever get chocolate wet. Set a pan on the stove, and fill it half way with water. With the heat on low, place a small metal bowl on top of the pan, and then add the white chocolate. Stir it occasionally, until it is fully melted.
Crushing the Candy Canes

Put the candy canes into a quart ziplock bag, and crush them on a cutting board, using a meat mallet. Then add these to the melted chocolate.
Adding the Pretzels

Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet, and then add pretzels. Then pour your chocolate-candy cane mixture onto the baking sheet. Thoroughly mix with a spatula.
