Sweet & Simple Holiday Treats: Pretzel Kiss Bites
If you're looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing treat to make with your kids, this recipe is a winner! These Pretzel Kiss Bites are sweet, salty, and super fun to create together in the kitchen. They’re perfect for holiday gatherings, movie nights, or any time you need a quick snack with a festive touch. Let’s get started!
Ingredients
- Hershey Kisses (as many as you like)
- Waffle pretzels
- M&Ms (choose your colors)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
First, set your oven to 200°F (a low temperature for gently melting the chocolate). Preheating lets the oven get to the perfect temperature while you prep. -
Unwrap the Hershey Kisses
Here's a great step for little helpers! Let your kids unwrap the Kisses and set them aside in a bowl. It’s fun, easy, and let's face it – they might sneak one or two along the way. 😉 -
Line the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup, because who doesn’t love that? -
Set up the Pretzels
Lay out the waffle pretzels in a single layer on the foil. This will be the base of each bite, so give them a little breathing room but keep them close enough to fit plenty on the sheet. -
Add a Hershey Kiss to Each Pretzel
Place one Hershey Kiss on top of each pretzel. Try not to squish it down; just let it sit right in the center. -
Bake
Pop the baking sheet in the oven for about 5 minutes. You want the Kisses to be soft but not fully melted – they should keep their shape while becoming just gooey enough to press the M&M in. -
Top with M&Ms
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and add an M&M on top of each softened Kiss. Press down gently to let the chocolate settle into the pretzel – this part is so satisfying! -
Cool and Enjoy
Let your treats cool completely before serving. You can speed up the cooling by placing them in the fridge for a few minutes if you’re short on time. Once they’ve set, they’re ready to eat and share!
