    📋Step by Step Instructions

    STEP 1: Pour some chocolate flavored candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute at 40% power. Then, stir the candy melts and microwave them for another 30 seconds. Repeat the stirring and microwaving until the candy melts are completely melted.

    STEP 3: Pick the chocolate-covered pretzels up out of the melted candy using a thin wooden skewer. Allow the excess chocolate coating to drip off the pretzels. You will need to reheat the melted chocolate in the bowl as you go about this process since the candy will start to get thicker as time goes on.

    STEP 6: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt some red candy melts using the same process described above. You will need less than half the amount of the chocolate candy melts that you used.

    STEP 7: Cut a tiny triangle off the bottom corner of a zip-top bag and transfer the melted red candy to the bag. Pipe the melted red candy onto the chocolate covered pretzels.

    STEP 11: Once you have drizzled on the pink candy, use your skewer to separate the melted candy so that none of the hearts will be connected.

    👩🏻‍🍳Expert Tips

    Tip 1: If you can find cocoa candy melts, you can use an equal amount of chocolate chips and melt according to package directions.

    Tip 2: Make sure the chocolate is completely hardened before drizzling with red and pink candy melts.


    🤷🏻‍♀️Recipe FAQs

    How to store Valentine's Day pretzels?

    You can store these in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

    What else can I add to these Valentine pretzels?

    You can add valentine sprinkles, colored sugar or crushed candy such as M&Ms,

    Can I use pretzel sticks instead of pretzel twists?

    While you could, it would be much harder to get the sticks out of the chocolate. For this reason, I prefer the pretzel twists.
