Equipment Needed:
- Baking Sheet or Sheet Pan
- Parchment Paper
- Oven
Ingredients (Full recipe located in recipe card below):
- Mini Pretzel Twists
- Hershey's Hugs
- Red M&M's
- Red Sprinkles
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the pretzel twists in a single layer, leaving space between each one.
- Add the Hershey’s Hugs. Unwrap the Hershey’s Hugs and place one on top of each pretzel.
- Carefully place the baking sheet into the oven and heat the pretzels for about 2-4 minutes. Be sure to keep a close eye on them. You want them soften, but not completely melted.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately place one M&M to the center of each pretzel hug and sprinkle the red sprinkles over the softened chocolate. Let the pretzels cool completely. Then enjoy!
Recipe Variations And Substitutions:
- Different Chocolate : Rolos, or mini peanut butter cups in place of Hug's work great as well!
- Pretzels: Swap the twists for pretzel squares. Whichever you prefer.
- Sprinkle: Use heart-shaped sprinkles or switch up the colors for different holidays and occasions.
Storage :
- Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place.
Pro Tips:
- Watch the Oven: This isn’t a set it and forget it recipe. The chocolate melts very quickly, so don’t walk away while they’re in the oven.
- Even Sprinkling: Use your fingers to evenly distribute the sprinkles, otherwise most of them will end up on the pan.
- Cooling: If you’re in a rush, place baking sheet with the pretzel hugs in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate (let the baking sheet cool down before placing in freezer).
