This is a fun treat. We make them every year. This is one the kids can pretty much do on their own, that is if you trust them to not eat all the candy! I am a salty/sweet kind of girl. These are perfect for the salty/sweet people.
What you need:
- Checkerboard or windowpane pretzels
- M&M's
- Hershey Kisses
Preheat oven to 170 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Spread out pretzels. Carefully supervise as kisses are unwrapped to be sure that you will have some for the actually finished product! Place one kiss on each pretzel. Place cookie sheet in oven and watch carefully. Set timer for 5 minutes. After the first five minutes gently try to press an M&M into the kiss. If it seems a little firm still check every 30 seconds to 1 minute with the M&M. They will go from hard to melty really quick! When kisses are the right mushiness, remove from the oven and press one M&M into each kiss. Let cool until chocolate hardens. If you can't wait, place in fridge until chocolate is hard. Kisses Hugs make really cute pretzel thingys. Hugs melt a lot faster than the solid milk chocolate so you will need to check them sooner than 5 minutes.

Instead of an M&M (which is really cute) you could smush another pretzel on top & make like a sandwich. I do those with the Hugs...YUM!
ReplyDeleteYUM!! I had to click on this (found you on WFMW) because of your title. I constantly call things "thingys" or "whatchamacalits" :)
