In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg, chocolate and vanilla;
mix well. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix
well. Cover and chill for 1 hour or until firm. Divide dough into fourths;
form each portion into a 6-in log. Divide each log into 12 pieces; roll
each piece into a 9-in rope. Place ropes on greased baking sheets; form
into pretzel shapes and space 2 in apart. Bake at 400F for 5-7 minutes or
until firm. Cool 1 minute before removing to wire racks. For glaze, heat
the chocolate chips, corn syrup and shortening in a small saucepan over low
heat until melted. Stir in sugar and enough coffee to make a smooth glaze.
Dip pretzels; place on waxed paper or wire racks to harden. Drizzle with
white chocolate; let stand until chocolate is completely set. Store in an
airtight container.
