I first melted the chocolate on it's own and slowly added the whipping cream. The chocolate had a great consistency until I put in the cream and then it turned into a hard lump. It wouldn't even stick to my finger, let alone a pretzel. I added A LOT of butter and finally was able to get it to a dipping consistancy, bu tit still had lumps. Skip the whipping cream and just use butter or shortening. Also, if you are like me and read the reviews after trying the recipe and have your own chocolate lump, I crushed up some pretzels and peanuts and squished them into little chocolate lumps. The result did not look pretty but they tasted just as good as my end product. I also tried this recipe with white chocolate and ended up with a mess. I couldn't save that one.
