Sweetheart Chocolate Pretzel Bites

These Sweetheart Chocolate Pretzel Bites are sweet and crunchy treats that are fun to make with cute conversation hearts on top for Valentine’s Day! Check out the round up of Valentine’s recipes below in this Good Cookie Food Bloggers Valentine’s Event benefiting the Cookies for Kids’ Cancer!

 I’m so excited to participate in this Valentine’s event (again). This is the fourth year for our event and we want to continue to make a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer. Cancer is the #1 cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. The National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%. It’s such a small number and that’s why I got involved.

Help us make a difference by donating to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer!

Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Because these three companies:  OXO,  Mediavine  amd Dixie Crystals have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000! That means when we raise $1, it turns into $4!

Thank you to so many of you who have already donated, please help us reach our goal so we can get the full matching donations and help us make an even huge difference!

Sweetheart Chocolate Pretzel Bites

Makes approx 40-45 bites

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Pretzel Snaps or mini pretzels
• 1 10 oz bag Hershey's chocolate hearts
• 1/2 cup Valentine's Conversation Hearts candies

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
• Line up rows of pretzels snaps on a lined baking sheet.
• Unwrap the chocolate hearts and place one on each of the pretzels.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until chocolate is soft about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and gently press the candy hearts on the softened chocolate.
• Let cool and harden {I wait overnight or place in the freezer} before removing to gift bags or platters.

These easy treats can be made with any chocolate on top. I used Hershey’s milk chocolate hearts filled with strawberry creme.

I have also made them with Hershey’s Kisses Hugs. Delicious both ways!

Ava helped by sorting through the conversation hearts and finding the best printed ones.

Line up rows of pretzels on a lined baking sheet.

Unwrap the chocolate hearts and place one on each of the pretzels.

Bke at 250 degrees for about 1 1/2 minutes until the chocolate is soft.

GEntly press the candy hearts onto the chocolate.

So cute and colorful!

Ava loved this part and snuck a few conversation hearts too!

Let cool and harden up to overnight then wrap up for gifts!

You can also add he hearts to the fridge or freezer to speed up the hardening.

They make delicious gifts for school friends and fun treats for parties!
