Ingredients
- 50 square pretzels
- 50 Hershey’s Hugs chocolates, unwrapped
- 50 M&Ms, holiday-appropriate colors preferred
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Pretzels: Lay the pretzels in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for proper heat distribution.
- Add Hershey’s Hugs: Place one unwrapped Hershey’s Hug on top of each pretzel square, making sure they are centered.
- Bake Chocolate: Bake the pretzels with the Hugs for 4 to 6 minutes until the chocolate is glossy and softened but not fully melted. Keep a close eye to avoid overheating.
- Add M&Ms: Immediately after removing from the oven, quickly press one M&M onto each softened chocolate Hug. If the chocolate isn’t soft enough to adhere, return the tray to the oven for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pretzel hugs to cool completely at room temperature so the chocolate hardens around the M&Ms. Once cooled, serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use holiday-themed M&Ms to add festive color to your treats.
- Watch the chocolate closely while baking to avoid melting it too much.
- Let the treats cool fully so the chocolate sets properly.
- Store leftover pretzel hugs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- For a quicker set, you can refrigerate the treats after assembly for 10-15 minutes.
