Ingredients:
- 24 mini heart shaped pretzels (approx. 60g)
- 0.5 tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 cup High-quality dark or semi sweet chocolate chips (170g)
- 1 tsp refined coconut oil (5g)
- 2 tbsp natural pink sanding sugar or dried raspberry dust (10g)
- 1 tbsp white chocolate (15g)
Instructions:
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set your pretzels in a bowl for easy grabbing.
- Place the dark chocolate chips and the refined coconut oil into your glass bowl.
- Microwave the mixture in 30 second bursts, stirring vigorously between each session. Stop when you see only a few small lumps left and stir until they melt from the residual heat.
- Drop one pretzel into the chocolate. Use your fork to submerge it fully until it is completely coated in a velvety layer.
- Lift the pretzel with the fork and tap the handle against the edge of the bowl. Wait until the excess chocolate stops dripping to avoid messy feet on your parchment.
- Gently slide the pretzel onto the parchment paper. Use a toothpick if it gets stuck to the fork.
- Immediately sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and a dusting of pink sugar over the wet chocolate. Watch for the sugar to stick before the chocolate sets.
- Melt the white chocolate in a separate bowl (15 second bursts) and snip a tiny corner off a sandwich bag to drizzle thin lines over the hearts.
- Place the entire tray in the freezer for exactly 5 minutes until the chocolate is firm and matte.
- Peel one heart off the paper. It should release easily with a clean snap.
