Crazy Easy White Chocolate Pretzels

So I've seen all over Pinterest the melted Hershey's Kisses on pretzels topped with M&Ms. Well I thought this idea was fine and dandy but I never really thought I would make it until I was at the store and saw Candy Cane Kisses. BTW I love peppermint. My plans were solidified when I saw mint flavored Christmas colored M&Ms.

My inspiration came from a visit to Costco a few weeks ago. I saw a huge bag (what at Costco isn't huge?) of white chocolate peppermint covered pretzels. I couldn't resist buying them. Well my husband and I blew through the bag in a matter of days. They were kind of expensive but my main issue with them was they weren't satisfying enough and my husband thought they were not peppermint enough. Well this version of peppermint pretzels solved my sweet tooth issue wonderfully. It is also the quickest and easiest way for peppermint pretzels. Not to mention the clean up will take less than a minute. How's that busy mom! Now if you haven't tried the Candy Cane Kisses your missing out but by melting the chocolate the tiny pieces of candy cane inside melt and the flavor of peppermint intensifies.


I let my husband eat the green ones :)

You need:
1 bag of square or circle pretzels
1 bag of Mint M&M (you can use regular M&M's too)
1 bag of Candy Cane Hershey's Kisses
Parchment Paper

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F
2. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper.
3. Place pretzels on baking sheet and top with unwrapped kisses.
4. Place in oven for about 4 minutes give or take depending on your oven and rack position. Just watch them until the Kiss is melted enough to press down. You don't want it completely melted or they wont hold there shape.
5. Remove from oven and quickly press an M&M into the chocolate.
6. Allow to cool and harden at room temp for at least 5 hours.
7. ENJOY!
