Ingredients

The best part is they are non-perishable so you can stock up for whenever the mood strikes. Below is a visual walk through of this recipe.

For ingredient amounts and instructions, please see the recipe card below.

You will need:

• Butter Snap Pretzels – get the square shape if you can find them. They make the sandwich process smooth and simple.
• Hershey’s Hugs chocolates – Use whichever flavor you prefer
• Pink and Red melting chocolate – I find the Meltables from Sweet Tooth Fairy to be really easy to use.
• Valentine’s Day Sprinkles – mini heart sprinkles are used in this recipe but feel free to pick your favorite

How to Make Dipped Pretzel Sandwiches

Preheat your oven to 350°F an layer a piece of parchment paper to a baking sheet.

Arrange 70 butter snap pretzels onto the parchment paper.

Add a Hershey’s hug on top of each pretzel.

Place cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven for 2 minutes, just until the candies start to look shiny.

Then, remove from oven and gently press a 2nd butter snap pretzel on top of each Hersheys hug to make a sandwich.

Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.

Once the candies have set, add red candy melts to a microwave safe bowl, and melt according to package directions. I usually heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between each session.

Repeat for the pink candy melts in a separate bowl.

Dip each cooled pretzel sandwich into the pink or red melted chocolate, and sprinkle with heart sprinkles as you go so they will stick to the chocolate before it sets.

Once each candy has been dipped and sprinkled, place them back into the refrigerator for an hour to harden.

Enjoy!

Storage Tips

Any uneaten and cooled pretzels should be stored in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag.

You can store on the counter at room temperature and enjoy for 3-5 days.
