Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup White Chocolate Chips or Chunks (high-quality)
  • About 20 Mini Pretzels
  • Heart-Shaped Silicone Mold (to create consistent hearts)
  • Wax or Parchment Paper (for lining workspace and trays)

Optional Toppings

  • Sprinkles (colored or festive)
  • Sea Salt (flaky, for sprinkling)
  • Crushed Candy Canes or Edible Glitter (for festive touch)
  • Chopped Nuts (almonds, pecans, optional)
  • Drizzled Melted Milk or Dark Chocolate (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Molds and Ingredients: Line your workspace with wax or parchment paper. Arrange your mini pretzels, ensure the silicone heart-shaped mold is clean and dry for easy removal, and have your white chocolate chips ready for melting.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: Slowly melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short 15-20 second bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning. The chocolate should be silky smooth and fully melted.
  3. Fill Molds and Add Pretzels: Pour a small layer of melted white chocolate into each heart mold cavity as a base. Quickly press a mini pretzel into the soft chocolate, then cover the pretzel with more melted chocolate until the mold is filled.
  4. Add Toppings If Desired: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle sea salt, crushed pretzels, colored sprinkles, or other toppings onto each heart for added flavor and visual appeal.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely. Once set, gently pop the White Chocolate Pretzel Hearts from the molds for serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use quality white chocolate for smoother melting and creamier taste.
  • Melt chocolate slowly and stir frequently to prevent graininess or burning.
  • Press pretzels firmly into the chocolate so they stay embedded after setting.
  • Add toppings quickly before the chocolate starts to harden for best adhesion.
  • Store treats in a cool, dry place or refrigerate to maintain shape and texture.
