Christmas Pretzel Hugs


  • Author: Christine
  • Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pretzel Hugs:

  • 30 small pretzel twists (or regular pretzels)
  • 30 chocolate hugs or kisses (use any chocolate variety)
  • 30 M&M’s (red and green for a festive touch)

Instructions

Prepare the Pretzels

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 170°F (77°C). This low temperature is perfect for melting the chocolate without burning it.
  2. Arrange Pretzels: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the pretzel twists in a single layer.
  3. Add Chocolate: Place a chocolate hug or kiss on top of each pretzel.

Melt and Assemble

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Bake the pretzels with chocolate in the preheated oven for about 4-5 minutes, just until the chocolate is soft but not melted completely.
  2. Top with M&M’s: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Press an M&M into the center of each melted chocolate hug or kiss, allowing it to sink slightly.

Cool and Serve

  1. Cool Completely: Let the pretzel hugs cool at room temperature until the chocolate hardens again. You can also refrigerate them for quicker cooling.
