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. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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: 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.
- 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.
