I am naturally drawn to Valentine’s candy, even though I try not to eat very much of it! 🙂 I just love all the pink and red colors!

These pretzel candies are very easy to make and they taste delicious. They’re easy enough for kids to help with, too!

Just 3 Ingredients

You need only 3 ingredients to make these Valentine treats:

When we make this recipe at Christmas, we usually use the square-shaped pretzels, but I love the regular ones for Valentine’s because they’re shaped like hearts!

Valentine Pretzel Treats

Turn your oven to 170 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Set the pretzels on the lined baking sheet and top each one with a Hug.

Bake at 170 degrees for 4-8 minutes until the chocolate is soft but not totally melted.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and quickly press an M&M candy into the center of each pretzel, on top of the softened Hug.

    These are so easy & hit that sweet & salty urge, thanks for the idea, & it would be so easy for children to help with (if I had any small children anymore… I sure do miss that time. Young mothers take heed – never wish for time to pass more quickly, only enjoy each moment as it comes because too soon they are grown & gone).
    I found you through the Happiness is Homemade bloghop; I hope you’ll take some time to visit the 4Shoes & leave me a msg so that I know you’ve been by!

    1. Joy Kincaid says:

      Yes, my children love to help make these! I can sure empathize with young children growing up—my oldest 3 are teenagers, and my oldest graduates this year! The time sure has flown. Thanks so much for stopping by!

  8. Debbie Kitterman says:

    Eeeek! I’ve tried these with milk chocolate but never with the white chocolate!

    They look so adorable!
