Christmas Pretzel Hugs
These Christmas Pretzel Hugs are to die for! Super simple to make, can be made with kiddos and SO tasty with a delightful sweet and salty flavor.
Ingredients
- 50-70 snap pretzel grids (the square pretzels)
- 50-70 Hershey's Hugs candies, unwrapped
- 50-70 Christmas M&M's
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200° degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to make cleanup a breeze. Arrange 50-70 pretzels (depending on how many you want - could be less than this if desired) in a single, even layer, removing any chipped or broken pretzels.
- Place a Hershey's Hug candy in the center of each pretzel. Bake for 3-4 minutes or until the Hugs candies look shiny and soft but have not melted.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press a holiday M&M candy on top of the Hug to slightly spread out the Hug onto the pretzel. Allow the pretzels to cool and the chocolate to reharden, about 30 minutes, before packaging or storing.
Notes
This recipe has broad measurements because you can honestly make as much or as little as you want. I found one standard bag of Hershey's Hugs candies yields about 60 or so Hugs, so I got about 60 pretzel hugs total. However, you can double, halve, or triple this recipe accordingly.
Can't find Hugs? Feel free to use the seasonal or different Hershey's Kisses flavors, such as cookies & cream, sugar cookie, or caramel filled.
