Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 60 mini pretzels
- 6-8 squares white chocolate almond bark (about 6 ounces)
- 3-4 tablespoons heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Pretzels: Lay the mini pretzels in a single layer on a sheet of wax paper. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Melt White Chocolate Almond Bark: Place the white chocolate almond bark squares in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Pipe Chocolate onto Pretzels: Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag or a sealed Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off. Carefully fill the center of each pretzel with chocolate, shaping it into a heart.
- Add Sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle the heart sprinkles over the warm chocolate on no more than 5 pretzels at a time to ensure the chocolate does not set before decorating.
- Set the Pretzels: Allow the pretzels to sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes until the chocolate is fully set and hardened.
- Serve or Store: Once set, serve the pretzels immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Do not try to fill and sprinkle too many pretzels at once; work in small batches to prevent the chocolate from setting too quickly.
- If you prefer faster setting, you can refrigerate the pretzels for 10-15 minutes after decorating.
- Use high-quality white chocolate almond bark for easier melting and a smoother texture.
- These pretzels are perfect for Valentine’s Day, parties, or as a sweet snack anytime.
