Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 12 mini pretzel twists
  • 1/2 cup green candy melts
  • 12 red heart sprinkles (edible)

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Melt candy melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently heat the green candy melts according to package instructions, stirring frequently until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Dip pretzels: Using a fork, dip each mini pretzel twist into the melted green candy melts, allowing excess coating to drip back into the bowl before placing each on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Add sprinkles: Before the coating sets, carefully press one red heart sprinkle onto one side of each coated pretzel to create the festive decoration.
  5. Let set: Allow the pretzels to sit at room temperature until the candy coating hardens, or refrigerate the baking sheet for about 10 minutes to speed up the process.
  6. Store: Once the coating is firm, transfer the pretzels to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

  • If green candy melts are unavailable, green-colored white chocolate chips can be substituted but may require additional stirring to smooth.
  • To ensure even coating, use a fork or dipping tool to avoid sticky fingers.
  • Allow pretzels to fully harden before stacking to prevent sticking together.
  • These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature; refrigeration can cause condensation and affect texture.
  • For a different look, try using different colored candy melts or sprinkles based on the holiday theme.
