Make a batch of these Valentine’s Day covered pretzels for yourself or give them to your valentine! Read on for the easy recipe and some decorating tips.
A Super Easy Valentine’s Day Treat
Valentine’s Day snuck up on me this year. The holiday is only days away and I still haven’t gotten much decorating done, cards ready to mail out, or school Valentines ready to go.
Upon realizing how close Valentine’s Day really is, I did, decide to make a fun snack for my girls. And maybe me too.
I love fast recipes and the mix of salty and sweet things, so covered pretzels definitely fit the bill. Valentine’s Day covered pretzels are super easy, festive, and look like they take a lot more work than they actually do.

Covered Pretzels Decorating Ideas
If you are running low on creativity, here are some ideas that I enjoyed and you will too.
- Red and white sprinkles – this is what I did in these pictures. They are so beautiful
- White with pink candy melts – drizzle melted pink frosting or candy melts in swirls on the white pretzels.
- Half white half pink – dip half the pretzel in white candy melts and the other half in pink candy melts
- Fondant Heart – For the extra zealous, cut out heart shapes from fondant and stick them on the pretzels before the candy melts harden.
