Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay 24 pretzels out on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Unwrap caramels, cut each in half, then place 1/2 a caramel on each pretzel. Bake for about 5 minutes, just until the caramels are softened.
- Remove from oven and immediately place a pretzel on top of each caramel, pressing down slightly so they stick to the caramel. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Place purple melts in a microwave safe bowl and melt for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat until completely melted and smooth. Add 1/2-1 teaspoon of coconut oil if needed for a good consistency. Repeat for white and pink candy melts.
- Dip the caramel pretzels in the melted chocolate until they are about 2/3 covered. Repeat until all caramel pretzels are dipped in chocolate.
- Take remaining chocolate and place each color in a separate piping bag or small baggie with the corner snipped off. Drizzle each color over dipped caramel pretzels. Immediately sprinkle with Valentine's sprinkles, then allow to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Melt the candy melts in a tall and thin container with a wide opening for easier dipping. This allows you to dip the pretzels in all the way without having to deal with a small opening.
- Tap the pretzels lightly in the air after you dip to get rid of excess candy melts before putting them on the baking sheet. This will give you cleaner pretzels without all the extra mess.
- Let kids help! There are a number of steps kids would be great helping with – putting the pretzels on the baking sheet, adding caramel, and drizzling and decorating the pretzels! I’d avoid having them help with the dipping and/or the placing pretzels on the melted caramel simply because they can both be hot.
- Store these at room temperature in an airtight container for up to five days. After that they will start going stale and just won’t taste great anymore.
