Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 80 waffle pretzels
- 80 Hershey’s Kisses or Hugs, unwrapped (about 14 oz)
- 80 M&Ms (any variety or holiday-themed)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the pretzels: Spread the waffle pretzels out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are evenly spaced for uniform melting.
- Add the chocolate: Place one unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss or Hug on top of each pretzel, centered carefully.
- Bake the pretzels with chocolate: Bake in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes, or until the chocolate is glossy and soft but not completely melted.
- Top with M&Ms: Immediately after removing from the oven, press one M&M gently into the center of each softened chocolate piece.
- Chill to set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate has fully hardened and set.
Notes
- White and milk chocolate melt at different rates, so if using both types, it is easier to melt them separately to avoid over or under melting.
- You can customize these treats with any variety or color of M&Ms to fit different holiday themes or occasions.
- Store these pretzel bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week to maintain crispness and freshness.
