Candied Pretzel Treats are easy to make with pink, red, and white-colored chocolates dipped with mini pretzels with some red, pink, purple, and white sprinkles. These Valentine’s Day Pretzel Treats are perfect for home, gifts, and school parties.
Valentine’s Day is for making sweet treats for the ones you love. That would be my children! These Valentine’s Day Pretzel Treats are super simple to make and the perfect Valentine’s Day treat!
I love, love, love chocolate covered pretzels! It's the chocolate, right? You know that salty crunch with the sweet chocolate gets me every time. These Valentine’s Day Pretzel Treats are the perfect treat. Plus, they are super simple and fun to make. My daughter told me the other day she would eat any pretzel as long as it was dipped in chocolate!
We always have pretzels on hand in my pantry as my kiddos and hubbie are HUGE fans of pretzels. All shapes and sizes are appropriate too! I also always have melting candy on hand, because, why not, but probably because I have three kiddos! Plus, I need to use my holiday Valentine’s Day sprinkles for something, eh?
VALENTINE’S DAY PRETZEL TREATS
INGREDIENTS
Small pretzels in various shapes - select your favorites!
Red, pink, and white-colored melting candies ( I used 1 cup of each color)
Red, pink, lavender & white Jimmies & sprinkles
Heart Sprinkles
INSTRUCTIONS
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Melt the candy melts in the microwave in separate glass dishes with 1 tsp of coconut oil in 30-second increments at 50% heat level. (you do not want to burn the candy melts or they will seize up). Stir in between every 30 seconds. Stir well. I find that the candy melts don’t actually begin to look “melted” until I begin to stir them — keep stirring too as the melts are hot from the microwave and will continue to blend.
Using a fork or knife, dip a pretzel into the colored melted candy melts of your choice, place the pretzel on the parchment paper and then sprinkle with small hearts/jimmies/sprinkles (or you can simply dip or tap the chocolate covered pretzel in the sprinkles too — there is no right or wrong way to do this!!).
Alternatively, prior to the sprinkles, you can take a small spoon and dip in an opposite color of melted candy melts and drizzle across the pretzels to make lines across the pretzel(s) and then sprinkle with small hearts/jimmies/sprinkles.
Leave out on the counter or place in the refrigerator to set.
Then Simply ENJOY!! Valentine’s Day Pretzel Treats don't last long in my house so I am sure to make more later this week. I have loads of heart sprinkles left, so I may make these for the teachers at school!
