How To Make Valentines Day Chocolate Dipped Pretzels

Ingredients:

12 oz Bag Of Pretzels

3 oz Red Candy Melts

3 oz Pink Candy Melts

3 oz White Candy Melts

Your Favorite Sprinkles

Directions:

1. Melt your candy in the microwave for 20 seconds then remove and stir. (Be sure to use a different bowl for each color of candy). Return candy to the microwave and heat in 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between until candy is completely melted.

2. Using a fork, dip each pretzel about two-thirds into the melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off, gently tapping the pretzel against the side of the bowl.

3. While the candy or chocolate is still wet, sprinkle on your Valentine-themed toppings. Get creative! This is a great step to involve the kiddos.

4. Place the decorated pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them set at room temperature or pop them in the fridge to set faster.

5. Once the chocolate has hardened, arrange your pretzels on a festive plate or package them in clear treat bags tied with a red or pink ribbon for an extra sweet touch.
