Hershey Kiss Pretzels
Description
The Hershey Kiss Pretzels recipe features small pretzels topped individually with Hershey's Kisses that have been warmed briefly in a low-temperature oven to soften but not fully melt the chocolate. The Kisses are then topped with a single M&M for added color and a hint of fruity candy flavor. Baking at 200 degrees ensures the chocolate softens evenly without losing its shape, while cooling allows the candy to solidify again firmly on the pretzel base. The combination results in a crisp pretzel texture contrasted by the smooth, slightly softened chocolate and crunchy candy shell.
This snack works well as a convenient finger food or party nibble, offering a simple dessert component that pairs sweet chocolate, saltiness from pretzels, and a subtle candy crunch. They can be arranged on a platter or stored in an airtight container for a few days at room temperature.
Allow adequate time for the chocolates to cool completely and set after baking, usually about 30 minutes depending on ambient temperature, to ensure the M&Ms stay firmly attached and the treat holds its shape during serving.
Ingredients
- 60 pretzels small
- 60 Hershey's Kisses
- 60 M&Ms I like to remove the brown M&Ms because they don't look as cute.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place pretzels in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
- Unwrap kisses and place one on each pretzel. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Chocolate should be soft but not melted.
- Press one M&M onto the top of each kiss.
- Allow to cool until chocolate is completely set.
Notes
- Normally, the Hershey Kiss Pretzels take about 30 minutes to cool and set fully, but this can vary with room temperature.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
- For visual appeal, consider removing brown M&Ms as they don't match as well with the pretzels and kisses.
- Experiment with different variations and toppings as desired for a personalized twist.
