1

Line large cookie sheet with waxed paper or cooking parchment paper. In medium microwavable bowl, microwave chocolates uncovered on High about 1 minute or until chocolates can be stirred smooth. Fold in cashews and marshmallows.
2

Arrange pretzels on cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Spoon heaping teaspoon chocolate onto each pretzel. Let stand in cool place until set, about 15 minutes (do not refrigerate).

Expert Tips

Refrigerating these pretzels will cause the chocolate to lose some of its shine.
Choose unsalted, lightly salted or salted cashews--whatever you prefer.
