Ingredients
Snacks
- 12 mini pretzel twists
Candies and Decorations
- 1/2 cup green candy melts
- 12 red heart sprinkles (edible)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to keep your pretzels from sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Melt Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts following the package directions, stirring frequently until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency without lumps.
- Dip Pretzels: Using a fork, dip each mini pretzel twist into the melted green candy, lifting it out and allowing the excess candy to drip back into the bowl, ensuring an even coating without too much dripping.
- Add Sprinkles: Place the coated pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet and, before the candy hardens, gently press one red heart sprinkle on one side of each pretzel to add a festive touch.
- Set the Coating: Allow the coated pretzels to sit at room temperature until the candy sets and hardens, or accelerate the process by refrigerating the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
- Store: Once the candy coating is firm, transfer the pretzels to an airtight container. Store them at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness and crispness.
Notes
- For a smoother coating, stir the candy melts frequently while melting to avoid clumps.
- If you don't have green candy melts, you can use white chocolate melts and add green food coloring.
- Red heart sprinkles can be substituted with any festive sprinkle of your choice to customize the look.
- Ensure pretzels are completely dry before dipping to help the candy adhere better.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the candy coating from melting or becoming sticky.
