These cute things were made with pretzels that Simply Designing found at World Market years ago, and I've looked online and can't find any like them; however, I think Rold Gold Tiny Twists would also work well.
Instead of using red or pink candy melts, you could always add oil- or powdered food coloring to white chocolate, such as this (water-based food coloring will ruin melted chocolate).

These Cupid's Arrows are delightfully simple yet so cute, and the fact that stick pretzels and heart gummies usually aren't hard to find makes this treat even better. I think they'd be perfect on the top of a cupcake, or a handful of them could be scattered across a sheet- or layer cake. Come to think of it, a glazed pound cake or sweet bread (such as this) made in a standard- or mini-sized pan or ramekin could be prettied up with these.
