Pretzel Hearts– These fun Valentine’s treats are the cutest dessert for Valentine’s Day or any time you want to show you care. Easy recipe, add sprinkles or other toppings, adorable!

February is a busy month for me.  The kid’s baseball season starts back up so I’m shuffling back and forth to practices, planning team activities and more.  My youngest has a birthday this month as well, so naturally I’m planning and prepping for that. 

Then there’s the big holiday smack in the middle of the month, Valentine’s Day! 

While I already have my son’s Valentines already done (yay mom!), I forgot about the class party–I signed up to bring treats! What to do when you need to make treats for the entire class in a pinch?

These Pretzel Hearts are not only totally adorbs, but can save the day when you’re low on time!

PRETZEL HEARTS

Ingredients:

Pretzels (1 for each)

White Candy Melts (1 bag) 

Food coloring (optional)

Sprinkles

Place the candy melts in a bowl, set in the microwave on high for about 90 seconds.

In the meantime, place wax paper on a cookie sheet and set the pretzels out in a thin layer. Take the candy melts out of the microwave, add a couple drops of food coloring and mix well.

Fill a piping bag (or in a sandwich bag, then cut the tip off the corner end) with the candy mixture, and squeeze an even layer over each pretzel, smoothing it out with a spoon. Add the sprinkles while the candy is still warm.

Allow to set for about 15 minutes (tip: place them in the fridge to speed it up).

Place them on a pass around tray, or wrap them individually in clear cellophane, embellished in pretty ribbon!  The subtle combination of salty and sweet is the perfect treat for school aged kids and adults alike! Any way you choose to share these treats, they are sure to be a hit.  Don’t forget to make a few extra for your sweetheart!

Are you ready for Valentine’s day?
