Pretzel Hershey Kiss M&M Bites
Description
This recipe layers square pretzel snaps on a parchment-lined baking sheet with an unwrapped Hershey Kiss on each. Baking at low temperature softens and partially melts the chocolate. While still warm and glossy, an M&M candy is pressed into each kiss, embedding it partially and adding a colorful, firm candy shell. After cooling fully—often chilled briefly—the chocolate firms, binding the components into one bite.
The snack delivers a harmonious blend of salty and sweet, crunchy and smooth textures, with the pretzel's snap contrasting the chocolate's creaminess and the M&M's coating. They can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week.
For best results, use similar types of Hershey Kisses as melting rates vary, and baking until the chocolate is uniformly glossy helps with proper melting and adhesion of the M&Ms.
Ingredients
- 64 hershey kisses
- 64 pretzel snaps square shape
- 64 M&M's
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°F.
- First place pretzels on a parchment lined baking sheet. You can arrange them pretty close to one another, they won't spread.
- Place an unwrapped Hershey kiss on top of the pretzels (1 per pretzel).
- Bake for 4-6 minutes in the 200 degree oven. KEY: To make sure the hershey kiss is melted enough so pressing the m&m is warm.
- When the chocolate is glossy throughout, remove the cookie tray from the oven and press an M&M candy on top of each pretzel kiss.
- Let cool for ~30 minutes (I pop mine into the fridge for 15 minutes) until the chocolate is set and transfer to a ziplock bag or airtight container for storage.
Notes
- Different Hershey Kiss varieties melt at different rates; plain chocolate Kisses melt more evenly than flavored ones.
- Store the treats at room temperature after the chocolate has hardened, in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easy cleanup.
