Scale
Ingredients
- 24 circle or square-shaped pretzels
- 24 Hershey’s Kisses Hugs
- 24 M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C) to gently melt the chocolate without burning it.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on the sheet.
- Melt the chocolate: Unwrap each Hershey’s Kisses Hugs and place one on top of each pretzel. Put the baking sheet in the oven for about 4 minutes until the chocolate starts to melt and soften.
- Prepare your toppings: While the kisses are melting, get your M&Ms ready – you’ll need to work quickly for the next step.
- Add the M&Ms: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently press an M&M onto the center of each melted chocolate kiss. The chocolate should flatten out under the pressure. If it doesn’t, pop the sheet back into the oven for another 30 seconds to soften more.
- Cool and set: Let the pretzel hugs cool at room temperature briefly, then refrigerate them for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set and harden.
Notes
- Once you pop, you really won’t stop. These easy Pretzel Hugs are sweet, salty, and addictive.
- Use silicone baking mats or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Make sure to work quickly after removing from the oven to shape the chocolate before it hardens.
- Store leftover pretzel hugs in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
