Ingredients
- 80 waffle pretzels
- 80 Hershey’s Kisses or Hugs (unwrapped, about 14 oz)
- 80 M&Ms
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Arrange Pretzels: Spread the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures even heat exposure and proper melting of the chocolate.
- Add Chocolate: Place one Hershey’s Kiss or Hug on top of each pretzel, gently positioning them for even melting.
- Bake Chocolate: Bake in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes, or until the chocolate is glossy and soft but not fully melted. Keep a close eye to avoid overheating.
- Top with M&Ms: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one M&M into the center of each softened chocolate piece.
- Chill to Set: Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened and the M&Ms are securely set.
Notes
- Using waffle pretzels provides the best texture and holds the chocolate well.
- Hershey’s Hugs can be used as a white chocolate alternative to Kisses for variation.
- Ensure the chocolate is soft but not completely melted before adding M&Ms to maintain shape and binding.
- These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for longer freshness.
