1st Idea: Cupid’s Arrow
• Line the pretzels on a piece of parchment paper.

To make the arrows:
• Line mini pretzel sticks spaciously apart on a piece of parchment paper.
• Fill a plastic bag with chocolate and cut a small hole in the tip of a corner of the bag.
• Squeeze an arrow shape onto the one side of the pretzel stick.
• Make a feather shape on the opposite end of the stick, then allow the chocolate to set.
• One the chocolate has set, carefully cut the pretzel arrow in half.
• Align the pretzel heart between the broken arrow pieces and use the melted chocolate as a glue to stick them onto the heart.

2nd Idea: Kissing Fishes
• Position 2 fish pretzels to face each other.

4th Idea: Pretzel Butterflies (Two ideas)
• Line the pretzels in the shape of a butterfly on the parchment paper. (I used broken pretzel pieces for the antennae).
• Now you can either fill the insides of the pretzels that acts as the wings with chocolate or you can individually dip each piece of pretzel in melted chocolate.
• Add a drop of chocolate over the part where the antennae and wings meet to act as a glue and to keep the pieces together.
• Place a heart shaped sprinkle on top to hide the “glued” bit.
• Decorate the wings as you wish, then allow the chocolate to set.
• Enjoy.

: Line the pretzels into a butterfly shape.

: Fill the wings with chocolate.

: Even the chocolate out with a toothpick.

: Add a drop of chocolate over the wings to act as a glue.

: Cover the glued bit with a heart sprinkle.

: Decorate the wings.

: Line the pretzels into a butterfly shape.

: Dip each piece into the chocolate.

: Add a drop of chocolate over the antennae bit.

: Cover it with a heart sprinkle,

: Decorate the wings.

5th Idea: Pretzel Flowers
• You will need the odd shaped pretzels for this idea.
• Add a drop of chocolate in the center of the pretzel and stick a flower shaped sprinkle on top.
• Decorate the flower with a drop of chocolate then allow it to set.
• Enjoy.
