Ingredients:

Serving

1 package (6 oz) dried apricots, finely chopped
1-1/3 cups chopped pecans, divided
2 packages (11 oz each) kraft caramel bits
1/4 cup water
42 pretzel rods
3 cups dark chocolate chips
1 tbsp shortening

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine apricots and 2/3 cup pecans: set aside.
In a large heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, melt caramel bits with water, stirring constantly. Spoon caramel over two-thirds of each pretzel, rotating rods to coat all sides; allow excess caramel to drip off.
Sprinkle caramel with apricot mixture. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set.
In another heavy saucepan over low heat, melt chips with shortening, stirring constantly. Spoon chocolate over coated ends of pretzels; allow excess to drip off. Return to baking sheet and sprinkle with remaining pecans. Store in airtight containers. Yield: 3-1/2 dozen.
