Recipe Notes
The heart sprinkle tails and fins need to be pressed into the candy melts so that they are securely attached; otherwise, they may break off. You can, if you want, allow the candy to harden, turn the pretzel over, and add a bit more candy coating to the seam between the heart sprinkle and the pretzel.
If you keep the pretzels in the freezer for too long, they may crack. Remove them after they have hardened.
Use 3x4-inch clear cellophane bags to package your fish.
Cut out and attach the bag topper using double-stick tape.
