Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 bag mini pretzel twists or squares (about 50 pieces)
- 1 bag Hershey’s Hugs (milk chocolate + white chocolate striped)
- 1 bag holiday M&M’s (red and green)
- Optional: festive sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Arrange pretzels and add Hugs: Place the mini pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Unwrap the Hershey’s Hugs and place one on top of each pretzel piece.
- Bake to soften chocolate: Bake the pretzels with Hugs for 4–5 minutes, just until the chocolates soften but do not completely melt.
- Add M&M’s and sprinkles: Remove from the oven and immediately press one holiday M&M candy into the center of each softened Hug. If desired, sprinkle festive sprinkles on top for extra holiday flair.
- Cool and set: Let the treats cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate the tray for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate hardens and the candies hold their shape.
Notes
- Using square pretzels gives the treats a more uniform and polished look.
- These treats make wonderful edible gifts during the holidays.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
