chocolate heart pretzels

Step 1

Preparation: Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent your chocolate from sticking and make for an easy cleanup.

Step 2

Melting the Chocolate: You can use the double boiler method or microwave to melt your chocolate. If you're using the microwave, remember to heat in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning the chocolate.

Step 3

Adding chocolate: Once your chocolate is smooth and creamy, you can add to a piping bag (or use a plastic zipper bag with the tip cut off). Pipe the chocolate into a heart shape onto the pretzels.

Step 4

Creating the Heart Shapes: Place a jumbo heart sprinkle on top of the melted chocolate.

Step 5

Chilling: Allow your chocolate heart pretzels to set by chilling them in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Step 6

Serving and Storage: Once set, these treats are ready to be served. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several days, assuming they aren’t all gobbled up at once!
