Holiday Chocolate Pretzel Treats
What you’ll need:
- Regular or yogurt-covered pretzels
- Holiday colored M&M’s
- York Peppermint Pieces
- Hershey’s Kisses
This recipe is extremely easy to do and the salty pretzels combined with sweet chocolate are so delicious! First, lay out pretzels on a microwave safe plate. I used yogurt-covered pretzels because I wanted to go with colors that were holiday-themed, but the yogurt melted a little. You can also use regular pretzels.
Unwrap the Hershey’s Kisses and place one on top of each pretzel. Put the plate in the microwave for about a minute. You want the Kisses to be slightly melted so the M&M’s and York Pieces will rest in the chocolate. If the Kisses aren’t soft enough, try another thirty seconds to a minute in the microwave.
Once the Kisses are melted, press M&M’s and York Pieces into the Kisses alternating colors between green, red, and blue.
Put the pretzels into the fridge and wait until the chocolate has cooled before enjoying!
