Equipment
- microwave-safe bowl
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 2 cup white candy melts or white chocolate chips
- 36 mini pretzels
- Valentine's Day themed sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate chips or candy melts 1 cup at a time in 30 second increments in a microwave safe bowl. Stir between intervals until the chocolate has fully melted. It should take about 1 minute. If it takes longer, shorten the increments to 10 seconds so that it doesn't burn. *If using candy melts, follow the instructions on the package for melting.
- Dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate. Wiggle it around a little bit so that the chocolate fills the gaps. You can also lay the pretzel on parchment paper and use a spoon to scoop the chocolate on and spread it evenly around.
- Put the pretzel on parchment or wax paper and sprinkle with the Valentine's Day sprinkles. Repeat steps 1-3 for the remaining pretzels.
- Allow pretzels to harden for about 10 minutes on the counter or in the fridge.
Notes
Tip 1: If using chocolate chips, don't melt all the chocolate at once because it could harden before you finish dipping all the pretzels. Chocolate melts can be remelted as needed.
Tip 2: Make sure you add sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
Storing: Store in the fridge or on the counter in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Serving size: Serving size is equivalent to roughly 8 pretzels but is not exact.
