🥨 Ingredient notes:
- Butter Snap Pretzels - I love the structure of the grid of the butter snap pretzels.
- Hugs candies - Hershey Kiss candies with dark chocolate and white chocolate stripes. Be sure to unwrap each kiss, removing the foil and the paper flag.
- Candy melts - I have the Wilton candy melts in the recipe card because they have the best melting results.
- Valentines heart sprinkles - adding a few sprinkles
🔄 Substitutions
I use a Hershey Hug kiss in this recipe but you can substitute a regular Hershey Milk Chocolate kiss, or a dark chocolate Kiss in place of the Hug. If butter snaps pretzels are not available in your area, a regular mini pretzel can also be used.

2. Line a baking pan with a piece of parchment paper to a baking sheet. Layer 70 butter snap pretzels onto the parchment paper.
3. Place a Hershey's hug onto each pretzel. And place the pan in a 350-degree oven for 2 minutes, just until the candies start to look shiny.
4. Place a 2nd butter snap pretzel onto each Hershey's hug to make a sandwich. Move the candies to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
5. Once the candies have set, place the red candy melts into a microwave safe bowl, and melt according to package directions. Stir until the chocolate is fluid. Repeat for the pink candy melts in a separate bowl.
6. Dip half of the pretzel hugs into the pink melted candy, lay back on the parchment paper and sprinkle with heart sprinkles as you go.
7. Dip the other half of the pretzel hugs into the red melted candy, lay back on the parchment paper and sprinkle with sprinkles.
8. Once each candy has been dipped and sprinkled, place them back into the refrigerator for an hour to set.
