Ingredients
Ingredients
- 48 Mini Pretzels
- 48 Hershey’s Hugs (chocolates)
- 1 cup M&M’s or other small candy-coated chocolates (optional for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200°F (93°C) to gently warm the pretzels and melt the chocolate without burning.
- Arrange Pretzels: Place the mini pretzels in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Add Hershey’s Hugs: Press one Hershey’s Hug onto the center of each pretzel.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 4-5 minutes, just until the chocolate is softened but not fully melted.
- Top with Candy: Remove the pretzels from the oven and immediately press one M&M candy onto the center of each softened Hug for added flavor and color.
- Cool: Let the Pretzel Hugs cool completely at room temperature so the chocolate hardens again.
- Serve or Store: Once cooled, serve your Pretzel Hugs immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to a week to enjoy later.
Notes
- For a festive touch, use colored M&M’s to match the holiday or party theme.
- You can substitute Hershey’s Hugs with any chocolate kiss or small chocolate nugget.
- Be careful not to over-bake; the chocolate should be softened but not completely melted.
- These treats are best served at room temperature after the chocolate has set.
