Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 80 waffle pretzels
  • 80 Hershey’s Kisses or Hugs (unwrapped, about 14 oz)
  • 80 M&Ms

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Chocolate: Place one Hershey’s Kiss or Hug on top of each pretzel, gently positioning them for even melting.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
