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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 170°F (77°C). This low temperature is perfect for melting the chocolate without burning it.
- Arrange Pretzels: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the pretzel twists in a single layer.
- Add Chocolate: Place a chocolate hug or kiss on top of each pretzel.
Melt and Assemble
- 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.
- 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
- Cool Completely: Let the pretzel hugs cool at room temperature until the chocolate hardens again. You can also refrigerate them for quicker cooling.
- Prep Time: 10 min.
