Ingredients

  • Half of a 12 oz. bag of butter snap pretzels 140 pretzels total
  • 70 Hershey hugs candies
  • 3 cups white chocolate chips 1 ½ (12 oz. bags) - Ghirardelli are the best!
  • Green gel food coloring
  • 70 large Heart sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  • Lay 70 butter snap pretzels in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Add a Hersheys hug candy to each pretzel.
  • Bake in the oven for about 2 minutes, until the candies just start to look shiny.
  • Remove from the oven, and top each candy with another butter snap pretzel.
  • Move the candies to the refrigerator to chill for about 2 hours.
  • Once the candies have set, use a double boiler to melt the white chocolate chips. Once they’ve melted, add several drops of green gel food coloring, and stir well to combine until color is incorporated.
  • Take each pretzel candy, and dip a corner into the green melted chocolate, coating about half of the candy.
  • Return to the baking sheet, and place a heart sprinkle onto the candy.
  • Once all of the candies have been coated, move them back to the refrigerator to set for about another hour.

Notes

Store leftover pretzel bites in an airtight container.
These also make a great party favor - just wrap in cellophane bags.
