Scale
Ingredients
- 24 circle or square-shaped pretzels
- 24 Hershey’s Kisses Hugs
- 24 M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C) to prepare for melting the chocolate gently without burning it.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they are spaced evenly.
- Place Hugs on Pretzels: Unwrap the Hershey’s Kisses Hugs and place one on top of each pretzel square or circle.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 4 minutes or until the chocolate begins to soften and melt. Watch closely to avoid overheating.
- Add M&Ms: While the chocolate melts, get the M&Ms ready. Remove the sheet from the oven and immediately press one M&M onto each melted Hug, gently pushing down so the chocolate flattens around the candy. If the chocolate is not soft enough to flatten, return the sheet to the oven for an additional 30 seconds.
- Cool and Set: Allow the pretzel hugs to cool completely at room temperature, then place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to let the chocolate harden and set firmly.
Notes
- Once you pop, you really won’t stop. These easy Pretzel Hugs are sweet, salty, and addictive.
- You can use either circle or square-shaped pretzels depending on availability and preference.
- Make sure not to overheat the chocolate to prevent burning or seizing.
- For a festive touch, swap M&Ms for seasonal colors or other small candies.
- Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
