The Adventures of Dot and Mae

Hooray for holidays that are pink and red and covered with sprinkles and candy hearts! Isn’t Valentine’s Day the CUTEST holiday? Little fat baby angels flying around - candy hearts in all shapes and sizes, lace and luv and flowers and all the chocolate you can eat! It’s one of Dot and Mae’s most favoritest holidays EVER! Here is a really good idea for a Valentine Day snack. Dot and Mae are making it for a Valentine’s Day Party they are going to have this weekend for all their friends.

Adorable aren’t they? They are super easy to make too!

What You Need

Mini Pretzel Sticks
White Chocolate Candy Melts
Milk or Dark Chocolate Candy Melts
Colored Sugars or Candy Coatings
Wax Paper
Coffee Mugs to hold melted chocolate
Paper Cupcake liners to hold the sugars and candies

Fill a coffee mug ½ full of white candy melts. Melt in microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each time, until melted. You will do a “double dip” process—meaning to take one pretzel stick, dip it into the chocolate about ¾ of the way up the stick, and then lay it on a piece of wax paper to dry. Do a bunch of first round dippers before moving on to the second dipping for easier handling. Once the chocolate has dried, dip each pretzel stick lightly into the chocolate for a second coating and then immediately into one of the colored sugars or candy sprinkles**. This must be done with some quickness because the second coating of chocolate will dry rather fast. Again, lay the sticks on the wax paper to dry completely.

**For ease in containing the colored sugars and candies, use cupcake liner papers to hold them.

Repeat using Milk or Dark Chocolate.

These pretzel sticks can be stored in a sealed container for several days. No need to refrigerate. Freezing is not recommended
