RECIPES FOR VALENTINE DAY: SALTY SWEET VALENTINE PRETZELS

Is saying “I love you” as easy as 1,2,3?  I hope this Valentine Day you have someone to say “I love you” to and I hope you have someone to share these Valentine Pretzels with too.  These Valentine Pretzels are as easy to make also,  as easy as 1,2,3.

They are Valentine Pretzels because 1) little mini knotted pretzels appear to be slightly shaped like valentine hearts, 2) they are a sweet treat for Valentine (I mean who doesn’t love white chocolate), and 3) they are decorated in fun Valentine colors (reds, whites, and pinks).  They are easy to make in 3 easy steps – melt, dip, cool.
