Looking for a sweet and simple way to spread the love this Love Day? These Valentine’s pretzel hearts are the way to go – I make these pretzel hearts for most holidays, switching up the sprinkles or color for each occasion, but I LOVE busting out the pink sprinkles for February 14th the most.
These pretzel hearts are the kind of treat that makes you smile before you even take a bite. The chocolate melts into the center and sets up to look like tiny little hearts — sweet, salty, and almost too cute to eat (almost).
They’re super quick and easy to make, which is part of the fun. Just mini pretzels, melted chocolate (white, milk, or dark), a little coconut oil to keep things smooth, and a shower of sprinkles — done in minutes and ready to gift, share, or snack on straight from the tray.
I’ve made these for years, swapping sprinkles for different holidays, but there’s something extra playful about the Valentine’s version. They’re festive, nostalgic, and just the right mix of sweet and salty — basically edible little love notes.
