Chop almond bark and melt gently using your favorite method. If needed, add food coloring and stir to incorporate.
10 ounces almond bark, food coloring
Place about 1/3 cup in a pastry bag and seal. Snip off a tiny corner.
Pipe bows onto wax paper. Let harden.
Ensure chocolate remains warm enough, then dip a single pretzel into the chocolate, flip it, then shake off excess chocolate.
50 pretzel snaps
Place onto a clean piece of wax paper, and immediately place a bow on the "top" of a present.
Repeat with remaining pretzels, then let harden.
Store in a tightly sealed container for up to a week on your counter.

You will NOT use all the chocolate, but you need to have extra melted chocolate for the dipping to work well. Use any extra to make chocolate bark or save it for another project.
This works best with food coloring over gel. Feel free to use whatever colors you like or even mix and match colors - white, red, green, and more.
