Such an easy & quick candy, nice for any holiday thanks to the variety of holiday colors m&m's come in. This comes from an old magazine - was it Taste of Home or Quick Cooking? I can't remember, but they sure are tasty & cute! While the recipe calls for small pretzel rings, you'll get equally great results with mini twists and even Rold Gold butter checker pretzels if available in your neck of the woods.

CHOCOLATE PRETZEL CANDIES

Sweet and salty = yum! As far as easy treats go, these are insanely so. Put down a pretzel, add a Hershey's kiss, melt the kiss a little and then plop an M&M on top.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 8

36 waffle-shaped pretzels
36 Hershey's hugs (unwrapped)
36 Red and/or green M&Ms
or
36 circular peanut butter sandwich pretzels
36 Hershey's milk chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
36 Red and/or green M&Ms
Sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Lay a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
  • Lay the pretzels on the cookie sheet and top with a kiss.
  • Bake for 4 - 7 minutes, until the kiss or hug is soft but still retains its shape. One way to test is to poke it with a spoon; another is to pull them out at 4 minutes and try to top with an M&M; if it's still hard in the middle, give it another minute or two.
  • Pull from the oven and top immediately and quickly with M&Ms. If you're using the peanut butter sandwich pretzels and notice they don't have much salt, sprinkle the kiss with a little sea salt if you want.
  • Allow to harden - this will take a couple of hours, or you can transfer them to the refrigerator to speed up the process.

Tips:

  • Be precise with measurements: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure ingredients accurately. This will ensure that your chocolate pretzel candies turn out perfectly.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your candies. Choose a high-quality chocolate that you enjoy eating.
  • Temper your chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process that helps to stabilize the cocoa butter and prevent the chocolate from becoming grainy. This will result in a smooth, shiny finish.
  • Be patient: Making chocolate pretzel candies takes time. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with subpar candies.
  • Have fun! Chocolate pretzel candies are a delicious and fun treat to make. Enjoy the process and be creative with your decorations.

Conclusion:

Chocolate pretzel candies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these candies that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate pretzel candies a try.
