Ingredients

12 oz bag of pretzels
3 oz pink candy melts
3 oz red candy melts
3 oz white candy melts
Sprinkles of your choice

Instructions

Melt the Candy: In separate microwave-safe bowls, place the pink, red, and white candy melts. Heat each bowl in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. Continue until the candy melts are fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as this can cause the candy to seize.

Dip the Pretzels: Using a fork or your fingers, dip each pretzel into one of the melted candy colors. Ensure the pretzel is evenly coated. Shake off any excess candy and place the dipped pretzel on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Decorate: While the candy is still wet, sprinkle your favorite sprinkles over the pretzels. Get creative with heart-shaped sprinkles, edible glitter, or even small candy pearls to add a festive Valentine’s Day touch.

Chill: Once all the pretzels are dipped and decorated, transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator. Let the pretzels chill for about 30 minutes, or until the candy coating has completely hardened.

Serve and Enjoy: Remove the pretzels from the fridge and arrange them on a platter for serving. These treats also make great gifts! Simply package them in clear cellophane bags tied with a red or pink ribbon.

Tips for Success

Choose the Right Pretzels: Mini pretzels work best for this recipe, as they’re bite-sized and easy to coat.
Mix and Match Colors: Feel free to experiment with other candy melt colors to fit different themes or holidays.
Storage: Store the dipped pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week. Avoid humid environments to keep the candy coating crisp.
