Valentine gift that Little Miss could give her friends and actually help to make.\u00a0 Since some pretzels are shaped like hearts, I thought that would be an easy gift\/treat to make.\u00a0 This is a good treat for adults because who doesn&#8217;t love pretzels and chocolate?\u00a0 It&#8217;s also good for the kids because it&#8217;s sweet, salty, and has sprinkles.\u00a0 In a young person&#8217;s world, that&#8217;s a win, win, win.\u00a0 Plus, teens, tweens, adults and toddlers can make this treat as long as the wee kids have adult supervision.\u00a0 So, if you have children or grandchildren who are on the lookout for something to give their friends along with a card, this could be it!!!\u00a0 All you need is heart shaped pretzels, pretzel rods, white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and red sprinkles.\u00a0 Oh, and if\u00a0 you have some of those cute, clear plastic bags from the Dollar Tree to put them in, they will be tasty and cute gifts.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38034\"
