You can, but your pretzels won't taste nearly as good. It's like using shortening in cake frosting, as most bakeries do. That's why their frosting is not very good. It's much better to use butter or margarine if you want to produce the tastiest result.
Not generally -- because there is unsweetened (baking chocolate). The best thing to substitute is cocoa powder and butter/oil/shortening. For each ounce of baking chocolate substitute 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of butter (or oil/shortening).
Melt chocolate and cream in double boiler over low heat, stirring constantly.Dip pretzels one at a time quickly to coat while mixture is still very warm. Place pretzels on wax paper to set and cool.
Chocolate covered feet are extremely large and fat and make no sense to the human eye or other eye. To determine whether a foot is chocolate covered, ask it this simple question: "fujbfsubncdjvbvsdjbhsuighbdeghgei dfbayfbruiguibghjusycbgsyueb yubfweygweo8dbgdehyvgfyugbusi eufgdydf7yucdgeya?" If the foot falls off and blows up, you can be sure it is a chocolate covered foot. If it does not blow up but instead comes up and eats you, it is not a chocolate covered foot. This is not certain, as sometimes the foot has had a bad sleep and eats you anyway. Even though it most definitely chocolate.
