What You’ll Need

Tools

• Baking sheet or tray
• Parchment paper
• Piping bag
• Scissors

Ingredients

• 48 small pretzel twists
• 7 oz white melting wafers
• XO sprinkles (or any festive sprinkle mix that makes your heart flutter!)

How to Make White Chocolate Pretzel Hearts

1. Grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. It’s like creating a clean slate for your mini masterpieces.

2. Lay out the pretzels in a single layer on the parchment paper. Think of each pretzel as a blank canvas, ready to be transformed into a tiny edible heart.

3. Toss your white melting wafers into a piping bag and microwave in 20-second bursts. After each interval, give the bag a little massage to mix things up. Repeat until the chocolate is silky smooth and ready to work its magic.

4. Snip the tip of your piping bag (just a tiny opening—no need to get scissor-happy here). Carefully pipe the melted white chocolate into the center of each pretzel. The chocolate will fill the middle, creating that perfect heart shape.

5. While the chocolate is still warm, grab your sprinkles and go to town! Whether you’re a minimalist or a more-is-more kind of decorator, this is your moment to shine.

6. Pop the baking sheet into the freezer for 20 minutes or, if you’re not in a rush, the fridge for about an hour. This step ensures the chocolate sets perfectly, giving you those beautiful, crunchy, sweet-and-salty bites.

Why These Are the Perfect Valentine’s Day Treat

These little delights are a crowd-pleaser for so many reasons. First, they’re ridiculously easy to make—even the kids can get in on the action! Second, they’re the perfect blend of flavors and textures: creamy white chocolate, salty pretzel crunch, and that little sugary pop from the sprinkles. Plus, they’re downright adorable.

So, grab your pretzels, chocolate, and sprinkles, and let’s make some magic. Because Valentine’s Day isn’t just about flowers and cards—it’s about creating sweet moments with the ones we care about. And what better way to say “I love you” than with a treat that’s as cute as it is delicious?
