Prep Time30 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Salted pretzels
  • Red food colouring
  • Skor toffee bits

Buttercream recipe

  • 3/4 cup salted butter half melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups icing sugar
  • 3 tbsp whipping cream

Instructions

  • Make buttercream by mixing semi-melted butter, vanilla and icing sugar together. Mix sugar in one cup at a time, whisking to prevent lumps. Finish by adding the whipping cream and mixing with a spatula.
  • Separate buttercream into two bowls, adding about 2-3 drops of red food colouring to one of the icing mixtures. Set pink icing in bowl aside.
  • Microwave white icing in a glass bowl for about 30 seconds until icing is hot and runny in consistency.
  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper, and get pretzels ready. Dip each pretzel in white buttercream, coating entirely, and lifting out gently with a fork. You may need to use your pinky finger or use a toothpick to remove icing from holes of pretzel.
  • Place each on the baking sheet and when you've made enough to fill the sheet, place in the fridge for about 10 minutes to let the icing harden.
  • In glass bowl, microwave pink icing for 20 seconds when the baking sheet full of pretzels is ready to come out of the fridge.
  • Scrape pink icing into a plastic bag and cut a small hole in the bottom of it. Drizzle pink icing overtop of pretzels, then sprinkle with toffee bits.
  • Let cool in fridge for another 5 minutes then enjoy right away!
