🔪 How To Make Valentine's Day Pretzels

In just a few minutes, you can enjoy these simple pretzels. Before getting started, grab a couple of mixing bowls, a baking sheet, and some parchment paper.

This recipe will yield 24 chocolate-covered pretzels, but you can easily double the recipe if you need to make more.

Step 1: Melt the wafers. Place 6 ounces each (170 grams) of white vanilla, chocolate, and pink melting wafers into separate bowls and microwave them in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each heating increment until melted.

Step 2: Dip the pretzels. Dip each of your 24 pretzel rods into one of the bowls of melted chocolate, gently wiping off any excess on the side of the bowl.

Step 3: Add sprinkles. Coat each pretzel with Valentine's sprinkles and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4: Let the chocolate set. Let the pretzels sit until the chocolate hardens before moving them.

💭 Tips & Notes

• Don't burn the chocolate. Ensure you stir your chocolate well between each heating session to prevent it from burning. If your microwave is extra powerful, use 15-20 second increments instead. 
• Keep the chocolate melted. If the chocolate in the bowls begins to harden before you are done dipping the pretzels, remelt it using the microwave. 
• Reduce the mess. Add sprinkles while holding the pretzels over your baking sheet to help contain the mess.
• Decorate them. You can drizzle the white chocolate over chocolate pretzels, or vice versa, for more fun decorations.
• Store them for later. Keep your pretzels stored at room temperature in a sealed, airtight container for 1-2 weeks.
