These "pretzel hugs" may be the death of me. They've definitely been my diet downfall this Christmas season. First of all, they are SUPER easy to make, and secondly...well, they're just delish! I love sweet + salty and this hits it. Experiment with all the different types of candies if you want. It's a great way to use up what you may have laying around. My favorite was the candy cane Hershey Kisses! I also used plain kisses and Andes mints. If you have a chance, MAKE THESE. You won't be let down (but the scale won't go down either, so beware).
Here's the recipe:
|
|  | 1 pound (1 bag) of mini round pretzels |
| - |
| 14 ounces (1 bag) of Hershey's Kisses or Hugs |
| - | | 17 3/5 ounces (1 bag) of M&M candies |
|
|
|
|
- Preheat oven to 200°.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
- Place as many pretzels on the cookie sheet as will fit.
- Top each with a Hershey's Kiss or Hug. The Hugs chocolates melt faster than Kisses.
- Place in oven and remove when candy begins to soften just enough to press an M&M candy or decoration into softened candy.
- Top each with a holiday M&M or decorative candy of choice.
- Allow to cool completely and then place in freezer for 15 minutes to firm up chocolate.
- Remove from freezer, place pretzel candies in airtight container and store in freezer until ready to use.
*Any small shaped pretzel can be used, such as square, waffle-shaped or round.
*Serve for any holiday or event by changing the color of the M&M candies to colors consistent with the celebration.

I didn't need to store my hugs in the freezer. Once they were set, I just stored them in a decorative tin with all the other goodies. They didn't last long! |

My aunt brought these over this past weekend and used rollos and a pecan on top. The caramel with the pretzel and pecan was soooo good. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
