Ingredients Needed for Valentine’s Pretzel Kisses

For the kisses, you can mix things up and go with any flavor you like. I used Hershey's Hugs, which are a combo of milk chocolate and white chocolate. For the candy hearts, I went with a bag of conversation hearts I found at Target that included green apple, watermelon, lemon and blue raspberry flavors, which immediately made these more exciting than the traditional version of the classic candies. The colors pop, and the flavors actually taste good.

How To Make Valentine’s Pretzel Kisses
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and optionally lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. I skipped that second step, though, because I was making a small batch, so I just used a baking dish and popped it into the dishwasher when everything was done (but lining the pan does make for ultra-easy cleanup).
Arrange the pretzels in a single layer in the pan, leaving a little space between each one. Unwrap the Hershey kisses and place one in the center of each pretzel.

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately press a candy heart gently into the top of each kiss. The chocolate will spread a bit and grab onto the heart, acting like edible glue.

The biggest surprise for me was how much I liked the non-traditional candy heart flavors. Green apple and blue raspberry shouldn’t work with chocolate, but somehow it did!

2. Wait for a second
For cleaner edges, let the pretzel Kisses sit for about 30 seconds after coming out of the oven before adding the candy hearts. This helps the chocolate hold its shape even after a candy heart is pressed in.
4. How to stash and store
The pretzel kisses will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. If your house is warm, refrigerate them so the chocolate doesn't get melty, then bring them back to room temperature before serving. These treats also travel well, which makes them great for dropping off with neighbors or loved ones. Pop them in cute Valentine's-themed treat bags for an extra-special touch.
