White Chocolate Pretzel Hearts Recipe
Prepare Your Workspace:
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil, and lay the pretzels in a single layer.
Melt the Candy Melts:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Fill the Pretzels:
Using a piping bag or Ziploc bag, carefully fill the center of each pretzel with melted chocolate, shaping it into a heart. Work with a few pretzels at a time to prevent the chocolate from setting too quickly.

Decorate:
Immediately sprinkle heart-shaped sprinkles onto the melted chocolate.
Set the Pretzels:
Allow the pretzels to set at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
Serve and Store:
Once set, enjoy the pretzels immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Methods of Preparation
- Microwave Method: Melt candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
- Double Boiler Method: For more control, melt the candy melts over a double boiler to prevent overheating.
Different Methods of Serving
- Party Platters: Arrange the pretzel hearts on a platter for festive gatherings.
- Gift Bags: Package the pretzels in clear cellophane bags with a ribbon for a thoughtful, homemade gift.
- Dessert Toppings: Use the pretzel hearts as decorative toppers for cakes, cupcakes, or ice cream.
How to Store Leftovers?
Store white chocolate pretzel hearts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Avoid refrigerating, as condensation can affect the texture and appearance of the chocolate.

FAQs
1. Can I use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Yes! Dark or milk chocolate works just as well and adds a different flavor profile.
2. What if I don’t have heart-shaped sprinkles?
You can use any festive sprinkles or colored sugar to decorate the pretzels.
3. How do I prevent the chocolate from setting too quickly?
Work in small batches, filling and decorating a few pretzels at a time to ensure the chocolate stays soft for the sprinkles.
4. Can I freeze these pretzel hearts?
Freezing is not recommended, as the chocolate may develop a white coating (bloom) due to temperature changes.
5. How can I make the hearts more colorful?
Add a few drops of food coloring to the melted chocolate to match any theme or celebration.
