Pretzel M&m Hugs
Salty square pretzels topped with softened chocolate hugs and M&M’s make a crisp, creamy little candy with almost no fuss.
Prep 15 min · Cook 4 min · Total 29 min · Makes 70 pretzel candies
Ingredients
- 70 square pretzels
- 70 Hershey's Hugs chocolates, from nearly 1 full 12 oz package, unwrapped
- 70 Milk Chocolate M&M's, I used the red and green Christmas package
Directions
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Cover a cookie sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared sheet, then set one Hershey’s Hug on top of each pretzel.
- Bake for 4 – 5 minutes, just until the chocolate looks shiny and has softened, but is not melting and still keeps its shape.
- Take the pan out of the oven. Gently set one M&M in the middle of each softened Hug, pressing down so the chocolate spreads over the pretzel.
- Transfer the pan to the freezer or refrigerator until the chocolate is firm again, about 5 – 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
