Ingredients
- 24 pretzels
- 24 Hershey's Kisses
- 24 M&M's
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your pretzel bites bake evenly and the chocolate melts perfectly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pretzels from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Arrange the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each one to allow for melting.
- Unwrap the Hershey's Kisses and place one on top of each pretzel. Make sure the chocolate is centered on the pretzel for even melting.
- Once all the pretzels are topped with Hershey's Kisses, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake the pretzel and chocolate combination for about 5 minutes, or until the chocolate is soft but not completely melted. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it sit for a minute to cool slightly. This will help the chocolate firm up a bit before adding the M&M's.
- While the chocolate is still warm, gently press one M&M onto the center of each melted Hershey's Kiss. The warmth will help the M&M stick to the chocolate.
- Allow the pretzel bites to cool completely at room temperature. If you want to speed up the process, you can place them in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- Once cooled, serve your Pretzel Hershey Kiss M&M treats as a delicious snack or dessert. Enjoy!
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure your Hershey's Kisses and M&M's are fresh for the best flavor and texture. Stale chocolate can affect the overall taste of your treats.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the pretzels while they’re in the oven. You want the chocolate to be soft but not completely melted, so check them after 4 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to mix things up! Try different varieties of M&M's, such as peanut or almond, for a unique twist on this classic recipe.
- Chill for Quick Cooling: If you're in a hurry, pop the baking sheet in the refrigerator for a few minutes after adding the M&M's. This will speed up the cooling process and help the chocolate set faster.
- Presentation Matters: For a festive touch, arrange your pretzel bites on a decorative platter and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles or edible glitter before serving.
