Hershey Kiss pretzels
Description
The Hershey Kiss pretzels recipe uses pretzels as a sturdy base topped with Hugs chocolates that melt slightly in a low-temperature oven, allowing an M&M candy to be pressed on before the chocolate hardens. Baking at 200°F gently softens the chocolate without fully melting it, preserving the overall shape and creating a nice texture contrast between the crisp pretzels and smooth, slightly softened chocolate. The final cooling step solidifies the candies together into a cohesive snack.
The combination of saltiness from the pretzels and sweetness from the chocolate and candy coating makes these treats a popular snack during holidays or parties. They are easy to prepare on a single baking sheet and portioned individually for quick serving. They can also be refrigerated to speed up the chocolate hardening process.
Serving these pretzels as a finger food works well for gatherings, and leftovers keep for up to a week in an airtight container. Their bite-size form factor makes portion control simple while offering contrasting textures and colors.
Ingredients
- 24 pretzels I love the square pretzels, but regular ones will work too
- 24 Hugs
- 1 M&Ms bag of
Instructions
- Preheat over to 200 degrees F.
- On a baking sheet, lay out the pretzels in a single layer.
- Remove all the Hugs wrappers and place a Hug on top of each pretzel.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 3-5 minutes until the Hugs are slightly melted but still keep most of their shape.
- Remove from oven and immediately lightly press an m&m on each Hug pretzel.
- Allow to cool completely until the chocolate solidifies harden. They will cool at room temperature but you can also place them in the refrigerator for 1 hour for the chocolate to harden.
