Chocolate-Peanut Pretzel Bites
I was looking for an easy treat that the boys could help me make, and this recipe earned “bonus points” for allowing us to use up our Hershey Kisses from Easter! With only three-ingredients and the perfect combination of sweet and salty, you’ll have a hard time not stealing a nibble of the ingredients while you’re prepping this — but I promise the end result is worth waiting for. Make this for your 4th of July gathering or any other celebration using custom chocolate colors.
Ingredients:
1 bag peanut M&Ms
1 bag pretzel twists
1 bag Hershey Kisses
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300-degrees. Line your baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
2. Place pretzel twists on the baking sheet. Place a Hershey Kiss on top of each pretzel twist.
3. Bake for 4 minutes.
4. Immediately top each Hershey Kiss with an M&M.
5. Cool before serving. Store in an airtight container. Keep cool if serving outdoors, as the chocolate may get soft.
That’s it! Try not to eat all of them by yourself!
