Celebrate Valentine’s Day with these delightful Chocolate Covered Pretzels, coated in luscious milk, white, pink, and red candy melts, and topped with festive Valentine’s Day sprinkles for a sweet and crunchy treat perfect for gifting or sharing.

Ingredients

Chocolate Coatings

  • Light Cocoa candy melts or milk chocolate morsels — 1 cup
  • White candy melts or white chocolate morsels — 1 cup
  • Pink candy melts — 1 cup
  • Red candy melts — 1 cup
  • Vegetable shortening or coconut oil (optional for thinning) — 2 teaspoons

Toppings

  • Valentine’s Day Sprinkle Set — 1/2 cup
  • Heart sprinkles — 1/4 cup
  • Pretzel rods — 12 pieces

Instructions

  1. Melt Candy Coatings: Melt each color of candy coating according to package directions, taking care not to overheat to avoid thickening. If needed, add up to 2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening or coconut oil to thin the candy melts. Do not add water or any other liquid, as it will cause the candy to seize.
  2. Coat Pretzel Rods: Dip or pour the melted candy coating over about two-thirds of each pretzel rod. Gently shake the pretzel rod to remove any excess coating and ensure an even layer.
  3. Add Sprinkles: Immediately after coating, while the candy is still wet, apply Valentine’s Day sprinkles evenly over the pretzel rods by rotating them. For larger sprinkles, place them individually for better coverage and appearance.
  4. Set on Waxed Paper: Place each coated pretzel rod on waxed paper or a cooling rack. Waxed paper helps with easy removal once the candy coating sets.
  5. Drizzle Additional Colors (Optional): Once the initial coat has fully dried, use a spoon or fork to drizzle other colored candy melts over the pretzels for decorative effects. Before the drizzle sets, carefully transfer the pretzels to clean wax paper.
  6. Dry Completely: Allow the pretzel rods to dry thoroughly at room temperature before packaging or serving to ensure the coating hardens and doesn’t stick.

Notes

  • Do not overheat candy melts to prevent thickening and hardening.
  • If the candy melts become too thick, thin them with a small amount of vegetable shortening or coconut oil only.
  • Do not add any water or liquid other than oil to avoid candy seizing.
  • Waxed paper is recommended for setting the pretzels because it prevents sticking.
  • Larger sprinkles are best added individually for proper adherence and appearance.
  • Allow all candy coatings to dry completely between coating and drizzling steps.
