In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt 6-8 ounces of almond bark in microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or just until melted, stirring every 20-30 seconds. Watch carefully once almond bark begins to melt as it can burn quickly.  

Dip Pretzels

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Add 6-8 pretzel sticks at a time to melted almond bark. Use one fork to completely coat a pretzel. Lift up and allow excess to drip back into bowl. Use a second fork to push pretzel onto parchment-lined cookie sheet. Repeat for as many pretzels as desired, melting additional almond as necessary. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until hardened. 

Add and Dip Marshmallows
