❤️🥨💚 Pretzel Hugs 🍫

These Pretzel Hugs are a delightful, simple treat that’s perfect for the holiday season or any occasion when you need an easy, crowd-pleasing snack! With the perfect balance of sweet and salty, they combine the crunch of mini pretzels with creamy Hershey’s Hugs and a pop of color from festive M&M’s. Great for gifting, parties, or just a tasty treat to have on hand!

Ingredients:

  • Mini pretzels (squares or traditional twist shapes work well)
  • Hershey’s Hugs (one for each pretzel; you can also use Hershey’s Kisses for different flavors)
  • Red & green M&M’s (or any color you like for different themes or holidays)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). This low temperature helps soften the chocolate just enough without melting it completely, so it holds its shape.
  1. Prepare the Baking Sheet:
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy. This will also help to catch any melted chocolate that may ooze out.
  1. Assemble the Pretzels and Hugs:
  • Arrange the mini pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each pretzel for easy access.
  • Unwrap each Hershey’s Hug and place one in the center of each pretzel.
  1. Bake the Pretzel Hugs:
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 4-5 minutes. You’re looking for the Hugs to be soft enough to press an M&M into them, but not so melted that they lose their shape. Keep an eye on them; they’re ready when the chocolate looks shiny and slightly softened.
  1. Press the M&M’s:
  • Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately press one M&M into the center of each softened Hug, gently pressing down to secure it. The chocolate should spread slightly around the M&M, creating a flat top.
  1. Cool the Pretzel Hugs:
  • Let the pretzel hugs cool to set the chocolate. For quicker cooling, you can:
    • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes or
    • Transfer them to the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
  • If you prefer, you can also let them sit at room temperature until the chocolate is firm.
  1. Serve and Enjoy!:
  • Once the chocolate has fully set, your Pretzel Hugs are ready to serve! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge. These treats will stay fresh for about 1-2 weeks (if they last that long!).

Tips and Variations:

  • Use Different M&M Colors: Customize these for any holiday by using themed M&M colors—pastels for Easter, red and pink for Valentine’s Day, or orange and black for Halloween.
  • Try Hershey’s Kisses: For flavor variety, you can substitute Hugs with Hershey’s Kisses (like milk chocolate, caramel, or cookies & cream).
  • Add Sprinkles: For an extra festive touch, add a sprinkle of colorful sugar or holiday-themed sprinkles right after placing the M&M on each Hug.

These Pretzel Hugs are perfect for parties, gifting, or a fun afternoon treat. They’re easy, delicious, and always a big hit! 🍫🥨
