FAQ's

Can I use white chocolate instead of candy melts?

Yes, but you will need to temper the chocolate first.

Can I freeze Valentine's chocolate-covered pretzels?

Yes, they can be frozen for up to three months.

Should I store Valentine pretzel rods in the fridge?

Only if your house is warm. Otherwise, they are best stored at room temperature.

Tips

  • Make sure that your candy melts are completely melted before trying to dip the pretzel rods.
  • Make sure you allow the pretzel rods to completely dry before you move them to an airtight container.
  • Apply the sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
  • Line the cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper, otherwise, they will stick to the pan.
  • Place them in a glass jar tied with a cute ribbon! These festive homemade treats are a terrific hand-made gift.

      Our cooking class at co-op made Valentine pretzel treats for a fundraiser this week. They were delicious! I'm happy to now have this recipe so I can make some myself for future events.. just by swapping the colors and toppings for each holiday.
