Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 60 mini pretzels
- 6-8 squares white chocolate almond bark
- 3-4 tbsp heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Lay the mini pretzels evenly in a single layer on a sheet of wax paper, ensuring they do not overlap to allow easy handling and decorating.
- Melt the white chocolate almond bark: Place the almond bark squares in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate, then continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Decorate the pretzels: Using a piping bag, Ziploc bag with the tip cut off, or a small spoon, carefully fill the center of each pretzel with the melted white chocolate, forming a heart shape. Work on no more than 5 pretzels at a time to prevent the chocolate from setting too quickly before adding sprinkles.
- Add sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle the heart-shaped melted chocolate on each pretzel with 3-4 tablespoons of heart-shaped sprinkles to ensure they stick well before the chocolate hardens.
- Let chocolate set: Allow the decorated pretzels to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes until the white chocolate is fully set and hardened.
- Serve or store: Once set, serve the White Chocolate Pretzel Hearts immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness and freshness.
Notes
- Use wax paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Work in small batches to keep the melted chocolate from hardening before decorating.
- Store pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- If the chocolate hardens too quickly while decorating, gently reheat it in short intervals to soften it again.
- For a dairy-free version, choose white chocolate almond bark that is dairy-free.
