Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 24 circle or square-shaped pretzels
  • 24 Hershey’s Kisses Hugs
  • 24 M&Ms


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C) to prepare for melting the chocolate on the pretzels.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the pretzels evenly on the sheet in a single layer.
  3. Melt Hugs: Unwrap each Hershey’s Hug and place one on top of each pretzel. Place the sheet in the oven and bake for about 4 minutes or until the Hugs start to melt and soften.
  4. Add M&Ms: While the Hugs are melting, get the M&Ms ready. Once the Hugs are melted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one M&M on top of each melted Hug, gently flattening the chocolate around it. If the chocolate is not soft enough, return the sheet to the oven for an additional 30 seconds.
  5. Cool and Set: Allow the Pretzel Hugs to cool completely. Then place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to let the chocolate set firmly before serving.

Notes

  • Once you pop, you really won’t stop. These easy Pretzel Hugs are sweet, salty, and addictive.
  • Use circle or square pretzels for best results as their shape holds the chocolate well.
  • You can customize by using different colored M&Ms or other small candies on top.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or the refrigerator.
