Description
Deliciously festive Pretzel M&M Hugs are a sweet and salty treat perfect for holiday gatherings. These bite-sized delights combine crunchy pretzels, creamy Hershey’s Hugs, and colorful M&M’s for a fun and easy dessert!
Ingredients
Scale
- 70 square pretzels (avoid using butter-flavored pretzels)
- 70 Hershey’s Hugs chocolates (from nearly one full 12 oz package), unwrapped
- 70 Milk Chocolate M&M’s (preferably red and green for a festive touch)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Arrange Pretzels: Place the square pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Top with Hugs: Place one unwrapped Hershey’s Hug on top of each pretzel.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes. Keep an eye on them—the Hugs should become shiny and soft but should not melt completely. They should hold their shape.
- Add M&M’s: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately press one M&M into the center of each softened Hug, pressing down gently to spread the chocolate slightly.
- Chill: Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator or freezer to allow the chocolate to set. This should take about 5-15 minutes.
- Serve or Store: Once set, store the Pretzel M&M Hugs in an airtight container. They will keep well at room temperature for about a week.
Notes
- These treats are perfect for holiday gifting and parties!
- Use festive colors for M&M’s to enhance the seasonal spirit.
