     Title: Schokoladenpretzel (Chocolate Pretzels)
Categories: German, Special
  Servings:  8

    1/2 c  Butter Or Margarine               1/4 c  Milk
    1/4 c  Sugar                             1/4 c  Cocoa
      1    Egg; Large, Beaten                  2 c  Flour; Unbleached, Unsifted
      1 ts Vanilla Extract
-------------------------------COCOA FROSTING-------------------------------
      2 tb Cocoa                               2 tb Butter Or Margarine; Melted
  1 1/4 c  Confectioners' Sugar              1/2 ts Vanilla Extract

  Cream 1/2 cup butter and the sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in the
  egg, vanilla, and milk.  Sift cocoa and flour.  Mix into butter mixture
  until thoroughly blended.  Chill dough until firm enough to handle (about
  30 minutes).  Using 2 T dough, roll a rope about 12 inches long between
  your hands.  Shape into a pretzel as follows:  Make a loop bout 1 1/2
  inches in diameter by crossing the ends, leaving 1-inch tails.  Flip the
  loop down over the crossed ends.  Press firmly into place.  Place pretzels
  on greased baking sheets.  Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 10 minutes. Mak
  frosting in a small bowl.  Mix cocoa and confectioners' sugar. Gradually
  stir in butter and vanilla.  If frosting is too thick, thin with milk. When
  pretzels are cool, spread with Cocoa Frosting.

  Make 2 dozen.
