Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Mini pretzels – about 60 pieces
- Hershey’s Hugs chocolates – 60 pieces
- Red and green holiday M&M’s – 60 pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
- Arrange pretzels: Place the mini pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced so the chocolates can melt properly.
- Add Hershey’s Hugs: Place one Hershey’s Hug chocolate on top of each pretzel to create a base for the M&M’s.
- Bake: Bake in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes until the chocolates become shiny and soft, indicating they’re melted enough but still holding their shape.
- Top with M&M’s: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one red or green holiday M&M into the center of each melted Hug while still soft.
- Cool to set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or speed up the process by refrigerating them.
- Store: Once fully set, transfer the pretzel M&M Hugs to an airtight container to keep them fresh until ready to serve.
Notes
- Try using different colored M&M’s for other holidays or occasions for customization.
- Substitute Hershey’s Kisses for Hugs if you prefer a different chocolate flavor.
- Do not overbake; chocolate should be melted but not fully liquefied to maintain shape.
