❤️ Why you'll love it

Sweet and Salty Treat: Valentine pretzels are a tasty treat with the perfect sweet and salty combination of flavors.

Easy snack: These easy valentine's day pretzels are made with just a few ingredients and simple steps. 

Versatile: Whether you prefer dark, milk, or white chocolate, or desire a pop of color red or pink candy melts, these pretzels offer endless customization options.

🥘 Ingredients

Mini Pretzels: My preference is the mini pretzel twist as it is similar to a heart shape. You can also use pretzel rods, square pretzels, or pretzel twists if desired.

Pink candy melts

Red candy melts 

White candy melts

Assorted colorful sprinkles

🔪 How to Make Valentines Day Pretzels

1. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy melts in 20 second intervals. Stir in between each increment. Remove when fully melted.
3. Using a fork or chocolate dipper, dip each pretzel in the melted chocolate and tap fork lightly to remove any excess chocolate from the pretzel. 
4. Place coated pretzel on prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
5. Decorate dipped pretzels with colored sprinkles and candy while candy coating is still wet.
6. Put all the dipped pretzels in the fridge for 30 minutes, or until the candy has hardened.

🥄 Equipment

Large baking sheet

Microwave-safe bowl

Parchment or wax paper

Rubber spatula

🥫Storage

Room temperature: store dipped pretzels in an airtight container up to 3 weeks.

📖 Variations

Chocolate-Topped Pretzels: Use milk or dark chocolate and top with a white chocolate drizzle. 

Toppings Galore: Sprinkle with crushed nuts, colored sugar, or edible glitter to add texture and visual appeal.

Flavor Infusions: Consider adding a dash of peppermint, almond extract, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for a unique twist.

Peanut Butter Pretzels: melt peanut butter chips for dipping the pretzels and decorate as desired.

💭 Tips

Quality Ingredients: Opt for good-quality chocolate and fresh pretzels for the best taste.

Microwave in Intervals: When melting chocolate, heat in short intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning.

Patience with Decoration: Take your time decorating the pretzels, allowing the chocolate to set slightly before adding additional layers or sprinkles.
