The G-Bomb Chocolate Candy Bar - chocolate chips

Method

• Put the chocolate chips in a bowl and place the bowl over a pot of simmering water.
• Stir until the chips are melted.
• (Alternately, put the chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on medium for 30 seconds.
• Stir and microwave in 30 second intervals until the chocolate has melted.
• It should take 2 to 3 minutes.)
• Add 3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and stir well.
• To form the base, dip two pretzel sticks in the chocolate and lay them side by side on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
• Repeat until you have 24 bases made.
• Put the baking sheet into the refrigerator to harden the chocolate.
• Pour the remaining chocolate into a squeeze bottle.
• Meanwhile, add the hazelnuts, sugar, and vanilla to the bowl of a food processor.
• With the machine running, pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
• Continue processing until the nuts form a smooth spread.
• Scoop the spread into a plastic bag and snip off a corner to make a piping bag.
• Remove the bases from the refrigerator and pipe a strip of hazelnut spread between each pair of chocolate covered pretzels.
• Squeeze chocolate over the top of each one to cover and return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Trim off any excess chocolate with a knife and wrap each bar individually.
• Keep refrigerated.
