How to Make Pretzel Hearts:
Prep the Base: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange your mini pretzels on it, leaving enough space between them for easy decorating.
Melt the Chocolate: Melt your chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler. If you’re using coconut oil, mix it in until smooth.
Fill the Pretzels: Use a spoon or a piping bag to fill the pretzel openings with melted chocolate. A toothpick can help you spread the chocolate evenly, ensuring each pretzel looks perfect.
Sprinkle the Love: While the chocolate is still melted, sprinkle on your favorite decorations. Go wild with hearts, stars, or even edible glitter for extra sparkle!
Chill and Set: Pop the tray into the fridge for a few minutes to let the chocolate harden. Once set, remove and enjoy your delightful snacktivity!
