Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Hearts and Dots



You'll need:
Tiny Twist Pretzels
Melted chocolate
Melted candy melts, (found in the baking or cake decorating isle. Or can use white almond bark then add red food coloring, but they do have red and pink candy melts available.)
Wax paper
toothpicks/skewers


Melt your chocolate and candy melts each in separate bowls, in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between. Then using a toothpick or skewer to hold the pretzel, dip it into the chocolate or candy melts. Lay each one on wax paper to solidify. If you want to add sprinkles, do so while the chocolate is wet. Also, you can put these in the fridge for faster drying results.


Then once they're solid, you can either dip them again in a new color or place them in a bag ready to give away.


Or another variation with chocolate and pretzels is to use the little pretzels shaped like a circle. Stick one hershey kiss in the middle (or rolos are good too) and melt in the microwave (or very very low heat oven) place a candy conversation heart on top. You can do the same thing with a vanilla wafer. These are fast, easy and super cute when placed in a heart shaped box.
