Valentine Pretzel Snax


Made these the other day for a snack to take to the library… Simple and yummy


All you need is:

Pretzel twists

Pretzel Rods

Guittard Apeels White Chocolate or Ghirardhelli White Chips

Food color

Sprinkles

Caramel Squares

Lay out whole pretzel twists on a tray covered with wax paper.

Melt Chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave. Add 3 drops neon food color. Pour into sandwich-size Ziploc bag and poke a whole with a toothpick. (Do not cut a hole, as the stream will be too large and chocolate will just fall off when cool.) Drizzle back and forth over pretzels quite quickly to keep from having squiggly lines. Stop when you have the preferred amount of chocolate.

Cool a few minutes till set up. Break apart and arrange in bowl.

Also made these Princess Wands for the girls.

Use Pretzel Rods and dip in melted caramel. When completely cool, dip in the white chocolate, tinted whatever color you like. When mostly set up roll in sprinkles.

Tie a ribbon around the pretzel at the base of the chocolate.

PS.. if doing caramel, DO NOT lay on wax paper as it just sticks. I ended up holding them up side down for a few seconds and then standing them on end ,chocolate side up in a mug to set.
