Ingredients
Ingredients
- 45 mini pretzel twists
- 2 cups white candy melts
- 45 conversation candy hearts
Instructions
- Prepare Pretzels: Place all of the mini pretzel twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to keep them clean and prevent sticking.
- Melt Candy: Melt the white candy melts until completely smooth. You can do this by microwaving in short bursts and stirring in between. Transfer the melted candy into a ziplock bag or a squeeze bottle for precise pouring.
- Fill Pretzels: Cut a very small corner off the bag or use the squeeze bottle to carefully fill the center of each pretzel with the melted white candy, creating a heart shape in the middle.
- Add Candy Hearts: Place a conversation candy heart on top of the melted candy in the center of each pretzel, pressing gently so it sticks.
- Repeat Process: Continue filling and adding candy hearts to the pretzels, working in small batches (such as 1/4 of them at a time) to prevent the melted candy from hardening before use.
- Chill and Set: Place the baking sheet with the decorated pretzels in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the candy to harden fully.
- Serve: Once hardened, remove from the fridge and enjoy your sweet and salty heart pretzels.
Notes
- For even melting, stir the candy melts frequently while microwaving.
- If you don’t have conversation hearts, you can substitute with other small candy or sprinkles.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to keep the pretzels crunchy.
- Work in small batches for the best results to avoid candy melting solidifying too quickly during application.
