Hold the pretzel rod in your hand and dip the tip of the pretzel into the melted, white chocolate until it covers as much of the pretzel rod as possible.  Lay the chocolate covered pretzel on a tray that has been covered with waxed paper.  When the chocolate has solidified, hold the pretzel rod in your hand.  Take  a spoon and dip it into the melted, milk chocolate (see picture).  Now, let the chocolate drip from the spoons and drizzle the chocolate back-and-forth to create a simulated, drizzle design.  The chocolate may be drizzled from the spoon right onto the pretzels as they lay in the tray.  Note:  In the picture the white chocolate covered pretzels are on waxed paper.  When the chocolate has been drizzled onto the white chocolate covered pretzel, the finished product is place onto a waxed paper covered tray to set.  When chocolate is set, three or four pretzels fit nicely in a lollipop bag.  Tie the bag with curly ribbon.  Red and Green drizzles make nice Christmas gifts either packaged or placed in a cookie or candy tray.
Dip the pretzel rods as described, above.  Let solidify.  Hold the exposed pretzel part in your hand as you drizzle green and then red, tinted white chocolate over the coated area.  Sprinkles, as pictured, are applied before the chocolate solidifies. 

Mini pretzels are nice to add to a cookie or candy gift tray.  Dip the pretzels to coat them.  Lay the pretzels on waxed-paper lined cookie trays.  Before they solidify, add the sprinkles.  If you are to drizzle tinted, white chocolate colors over the pretzels, do so after the pretzels are solidified.
