Easy Peasy Valentine Pretzel Treats

Aren’t these valentines chocolate covered pretzels SO cute?

Would you believe they only take 3 ingredients and about 10 minutes to make?

This is the perfect Valentine’s Day recipe to make when you’re short on time or want to make a quick gift for teachers, family, or a party treat.

My girls love to make food gifts with melted chocolate because those are the types of recipes that they can do with little assistance. These Valentine Pretzel Treats are fun to make with the kids! (Though they might try to sneak a few “taste tests!”)

How to Make Easy Valentine’s Day Pretzels

Place pretzels on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and top each pretzel with a white chocolate Hershey Kiss.

Keep a close eye on your pretzel treats while they bake, as they only need a couple minutes in the oven. You will know they are ready when the chocolate looks wet and shiny.

TIP: The HUGS will not melt down — so don’t let that be the indicator that it’s time to take them out of the oven. If they bake for too long then the chocolate will crack and burn.

Remove cookie sheet from the oven and carefully place a candy conversation heart on top of each hug. Gently press so that the candy sinks down slightly into the melting Hershey’s Kiss. Careful, the melted chocolate and cookie sheet may still be hot.

Note: Adults should handle this step, or make sure that there is nothing hot enough to burn if kids are helping.

How Far in Advance Can You Make Chocolate Covered Pretzels?

The great thing about these pretzel treats is that they can be made a few days in advance because they keep well. That way you’re not scrambling to make a dessert ON Valentine’s Day!

Feel free to make your chocolate covered pretzels the day before, or even a couple days ahead of when you need them. Just be sure to keep in an airtight container in a cool place.

What Kind of Chocolate is Good for Melting?

We used Hershey Kisses for our treats because they do melt, but also keep their shape a little bit. They make the perfect little pillow of chocolate for our conversation hearts!

However, you could also use large melting wafers in either milk or white chocolate — whichever is your favorite! We recommend  Ghirardelli Chocolate Melting Wafers because they taste amazing and melt smoothly. Anything smaller, like chocolate chips, won’t really work for this recipe.

Should I Store Chocolate Covered Pretzels in the Fridge?

These chocolate covered pretzels are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They do not need to be kept refrigerated, but make sure that they are in a cool location away from sunlight or anything else that might make them melt.
