Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 60 mini pretzels
- 6-8 squares white chocolate almond bark
- 3-4 tbsp heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Lay out the 60 mini pretzels in a single layer on a sheet of wax paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Melt the almond bark: Place 6-8 squares of white chocolate almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave initially for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Fill pretzels with chocolate: Transfer the melted almond bark into a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with a small corner cut. Alternatively, use a small spoon to carefully fill the center of each pretzel with the melted chocolate, shaping it into a heart. Work in small batches of no more than 5 pretzels to prevent the chocolate from setting prematurely.
- Add sprinkles: Immediately after filling each pretzel with chocolate, sprinkle heart-shaped sprinkles over the chocolate while it is still wet to ensure they stick well.
- Let set: Allow the pretzels to rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or until the white chocolate has completely hardened and set.
- Serve or store: Once set, serve the pretzels immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness.
Notes
- Using a piping bag helps create more precise heart shapes with the melted chocolate.
- Work in small batches to prevent the melted chocolate from hardening before you finish decorating each pretzel.
- Store finished pretzels in a cool, dry place to keep them from melting or becoming sticky.
- You can substitute heart sprinkles with other sprinkle shapes or colors for different occasions.
- If almond bark is unavailable, high-quality white chocolate chips can be used but may require additional tempering care.
