Pretzel Hershey Kiss M&M
Description
This recipe assembles 50 mini pretzels, each topped with a Hershey's Kiss chocolate from the foil wrapper. The pretzels with Kisses are briefly baked at a low temperature (175°F) just until the chocolate becomes shiny and soft without melting fully. This warming step softens the chocolate enough to press an M&M candy gently on top, attaching them securely without cracking.
The treats offer a contrast between the crunchy pretzels, smooth chocolate, and the colorful candy shell of the M&Ms. Cooling them in the refrigerator solidifies the shape, making them easy to handle and present.
These make convenient party snacks or gifts, especially when packed in boxes with ribbons. They keep well for at least two weeks stored in airtight containers.
Tips highlight the importance of monitoring oven time precisely to avoid overheating chocolate, using a silicon baking mat or parchment for non-stick baking, and employing a wide straw or tool to press M&M candies to protect fingers and ensure uniform appearance. Variations with Hershey's Hugs and Rolo chocolates are possible but require timing adjustments.
Ingredients
- 50 pretzels mini square ‘waffle’ or mini twists shapes
- 50 hershey kisses
- 50 M&M’s candy use festive M&Ms
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 175 degrees F. Line a baking tray with a silicon baking sheet or parchment paper.
- Layout each pretzel on a baking tray. Place a Hershey's kiss on each pretzel.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 1-2 minutes. PRO-TIP: keep an eye on kisses when in the oven. Bake it just enough to heat kiss chocolate. When it turns shiny, remove it immediately from the oven. If you see little white spots on the chocolate while blooming it, it means you have taken the chocolate too far. It may crack when you press down M&M candies.
- Remove the baking tray from the oven.
- An extra pair of helping hands will be great. Gently press M&M candies on each softened kisses candy. To get a neat and uniform look use a wide straw to press M&M candies into chocolate kisses. Keeps your finger out of chocolate.
- Refrigerate it until chocolate hardens.
- Pack in gift boxes with cute ribbons if you want to gift it. Or store it in airtight container. Keeps good for at least 2 weeks.
Notes
- Use a silicon baking mat or parchment paper to prevent pretzels from sticking during baking.
- Remove the Kisses from the oven as soon as they turn shiny to avoid cracking when pressing M&Ms.
- A wide straw or similar tool helps press M&Ms evenly into softened Kisses without touching the chocolate directly.
- Different Hershey chocolates (Kisses, Hugs, Rolos) may require different heating times; work quickly to avoid cracking.
- These treats keep fresh for at least two weeks when stored in an airtight container.
