Instead of buying candy/chocolate for Valentine's Day, the boys wanted to make something.
Once again, waffle pretzels are needed. I get the Butter Snaps kind because they are better quality.
Something to note...the salt on the pretzels is very important. The salt/sweet taste is what makes these treats.
This is usually when I use Hershey Kisses on top of the waffle pretzels but since I couldn't find white chocolate kisses, I used white baking chocolate.
No emails/comments about how bad white chocolate is for you (it actually has no nutritional value whatsoever) but I needed white for the Valentine's theme.
Ten minutes in a 300F oven does the trick.
The chocolate is soft enough to push the M&M's into.
Yes, I know how bad Red #40 dye is for you but once again, going with the Valentine's Day theme.
Cullen (who wasn't feeling well) held the bags of treats while I tied them with a bow.
It helps to have a 2nd pair of hands.
Jordan curled the ribbon - we made a good team.
And they look quite cute.
Now to divide them all up so each child gets enough for their class.
Enough leftovers to go to work with Warren.
I couldn't resist a few of these. I had 2 before they got way too sweet for me but the salty/sweet taste was perfect.
