Ingredients
  

  • 60 mini pretzel twists or squares
  • 60 Hershey’s Hugs or Kisses
  • 60 red and green M&M’s plain

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (90°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange pretzels in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Unwrap the Hershey’s Hugs and place one in the center of each pretzel.
  4. Bake for 4–5 minutes, just until the Hugs start to look shiny and soft (they should still hold their shape).
  5. Immediately remove from the oven and gently press one M&M candy onto the center of each melted Hug to flatten slightly.
  6. Let them cool completely at room temperature or speed it up by placing the tray in the fridge for 10–15 minutes.

Notes

Use striped Hugs for a festive look, or Kisses if you prefer solid chocolate.
Change colors for other holidays — red & pink M&Ms for Valentine’s, pastels for Easter!
Want a peppermint twist? Use Candy Cane Kisses instead of Hugs.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature (or freeze for longer shelf life).
