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 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Pretzels: Spread the waffle pretzels out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are evenly spaced to allow heat circulation.
  3. Add Chocolate: Place an unwrapped Hershey’s kiss or hug on top of each pretzel piece. If using both white and milk chocolate types, melt them separately as they have different melting rates.
  4. Bake: Bake the pretzels with chocolate in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes, or until the chocolate is glossy and soft but not melted completely through.
  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: Transfer the pretzels to the refrigerator and chill for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens to set the M&Ms securely in place.
  7. Store: Once hardened, store the Hershey’s Kiss Pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week to maintain freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • White and milk chocolate melt at different rates; it is easier to melt them separately if using both types of chocolate.
  • You can use regular M&Ms or any holiday-themed M&Ms for a festive touch depending on the occasion.
  • Store the pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to keep them fresh and crunchy.
