Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 80 waffle pretzels
- 80 Hershey’s kisses or hugs, unwrapped (about 14 oz)
- 80 M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange Pretzels: Spread the waffle pretzels out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap for even heat distribution.
- Top with Chocolate: Place one unwrapped Hershey’s kiss or hug on top of each pretzel, positioning them carefully centered on each pretzel piece.
- Bake: Bake the pretzels with chocolate for 4-5 minutes, or until the chocolate is glossy and soft but not fully melted or runny.
- Add M&Ms: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one M&M into the center of each softened chocolate piece to create a colorful topping.
- Chill to Set: Transfer the pretzels to the refrigerator and chill for 20 minutes or until the chocolate has completely hardened and set.
Notes
- White and milk chocolate melt at different rates, so it is easier to bake them separately if you are using both types of chocolate.
- Feel free to use regular M&Ms or any holiday-themed M&Ms depending on the occasion to customize the look and flavor.
- Store the Hershey’s kiss pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week for optimal freshness and crunch.
