We’ve all seen them, probably even eaten a few — pretzels with melted candies gently pressed into their salty crevices. With all the different flavors people have created, I still go back to my favorite that my mom started making a few years ago. She uses Mint M&M’s candies. They’re the white, green, and red milk chocolate candies that have only been available around the Christmas holiday. So stock up, because they will be hard to find soon.

A few fun recipes I’ve seen for different pretzel snacks are Rolo Pretzel Turtles from Steamy Kitchen, Rolo Pretzels with Pretzel M&M’s from Two Peas and Their Pod, Candy Cane Pretzel Kisses from Cookies and Cups and Peanut Butter M&M Pretzel Kisses from Simply Scratch.

Sweet wishes,

Ingredients

▢ mini pretzel twists or squares
▢ HERSHEY's Milk Chocolate Kisses
▢ Mint M&M's chocolate candies

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°F.
Place pretzels in a single layer on a cookie sheet. (The number of HERSHEY’s Kisses you have determines how many pretzels you need.)
Unwrap the Kisses and place one in the center of each pretzel.
Bake in the oven for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes. The Kiss will not look melted. Remove the pan from the oven.
Immediately and gently push one mint M&M into each melted Kiss. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

If you haven’t made these before, here’s a tip. If you don’t bake these long enough, the Kiss will be melted only on the top half, so when you try to push the M&M into it, it won’t really stick well.

On the other hand, if you bake these too long, the chocolate will melt and turn hard again. When that happens, there’s no going back. You can’t reheat them to fix it. My suggestion, bake at 2-1/2 minutes and then remove the pan and try an M&M. If it works right away, great, you are done. If it seems to only push down halfway, stick in the oven for another 30 seconds. Check again. It only takes a few seconds too long to overbake.

I’ve never made pretzel snacks. I know I’m missing out. Love the combination you came up with here.

Paula – You are always making the cutest cookies so you haven’t had time. But these little babies only take a few minutes to make – that’s better for me since I don’t have a lot of patience. I especially loved your sparkly Halloween Hooters. 🙂 http://www.vanillabeanbaker.com/halloween-hooters/

I love these! chocolate and mint together is fabulous! My daughter has made a recipe similar to this, but I have never made them before.
Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!

You are welcome. I wanted to share it before the stores start running out of the mint M&M’s. You’ll have to try your daughter’s recipe, too. They all seem to be good. 🙂

The version my sister and I make uses Rolos in place of the kisses- I’ll have to try these with mint M&M’s. You’re right!! They only last for a minute and there is nothing more awesome than minty chocolate at Christmas.

I haven’t tried the ones with Rolos but I think my sister makes them that way. 🙂 Gotta love mint and chocolate – must be why my favorite Starbucks drink is a peppermint mocha. Have a great week, Heather! Staci
