Ingredients for Valentine’s Day Sweet and Salty Snacks

• Pretzels: Crunchy pretzels give these snacks the salitness they need. I like to use the whole pretzels.
• M&Ms: Candy M&Ms are perfect for topping these little V-Day snacks with! Either red or pink colors will work.
• White Candy Melts: These blocks or chips can be found in the baking aisle next to the regular chocolate chips.
• Zip Topped Bag
• Waxed Paper: You will need this to prevent the snacks from sticking!

How to Make Valentine’s Day Snacks

Step One

First, layout a sheet of waxed paper, then lay pretzels on top. Melt the white candy melts according to the package directions. Add the melted candy to a zip topped bag.

Step Two

Snip one corner with some scissors then fill in the pretzels with the white chocolate. Add an M&M while to the melted candy on top of the pretzel while still wet. Use Valentine’s day colors with this project by buying a special bag of candy or picking out the red ones from a standard bag.

Next, just wait for the chocolate to set before serving. It’s that easy!
