Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Hearts

by Marie on February 4, 2009

Who needs more Valentine’s treat? Me!! Just dip heart shaped pretzels into candy melts and chocolate and give to loved ones on Valentine’s Day. They’re the perfect shape and a yummy treat!

Supplies for Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Hearts:

  • tiny twist pretzels
  • melted chocolate
  • melted candy melts, found in the baking or cake decorating isle. I used white almond bark then added red food coloring, but they do have red and pink candy melts available.
  • wax paper
  • toothpicks/skewers

Melt your chocolate and candy melts each in separate bowls, in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between.

Then using a toothpick or skewer to hold the pretzel, dip it into the chocolate or candy melts. Lay each one on wax paper to solidify. If you want to add sprinkles, do so while the chocolate is wet. Also, you can put these in the fridge for faster drying results.

Then once they’re solid, you can either dip them again in a new color or place them in a bag ready to give away.

Cute how the pretzels really look heart shaped when covered.

I love chocolate dipped pretzels. I once made some that were pink with green dots for a baby shower. It took FOREVER, but everyone thought they were great.
At my blog, we are hosting a “Sweets For My Sweetie” link-up on Friday (for a recipe swap) and we’d love for you to join us with this recipe. Just wanted to pass along the word!
I love reading your blog!

I asked my 3 yo what he wanted to take to preschool for Valentine’s Day. He said “pretzels.” I wondered how I was going to make pretzels Valentines-y. Thanks so much for the great idea!

15 Kelly February 4, 2009 at 8:36 pm

Now I wish I would have purchased the sprinkles at Target when I was there just 1/2 an hour ago!

24 Angie Berg February 5, 2009 at 10:19 pm

What a great blog! I love the chocolate covered pretzels. It’s not that the idea is new to me, but your beautiful photo illustrations are stunning and obviously inspire your readers to get in the kitchen and go for it. Excellent.

Mind if I invite you (and your friends) to enter one or more of your clever ideas in the Valentines contest I’m hosting? The page and info. to enter is http://www.chocolate-candy-mall.com/valentine-ideas.html

I think you’d definitely add a touch of class! (I’ll link back to your blog, too, so my visitors can find you and enjoy the rest of your site).

Blessings,
Angie

27 Christi February 9, 2009 at 7:02 am

I make covered pretzels fairly often – but hadn’t thought of tinting them for Valentine’s Day! Thanks!

28 Marie February 11, 2009 at 6:28 pm

Yes, I love the sweet and salty of these too! And I almost like the candy melts more than the milk chocolate with these. Anyone else?
