Description
These Christmas Pretzel Hugs are a delightful holiday treat that combines the salty crunch of pretzels with the sweet creaminess of Hershey’s Hugs chocolates, topped with festive M&M’s for a pop of color. Easy to make and perfect for gifting or sharing at holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Pretzel Hugs:
- 1 bag (10 oz) square pretzels (such as Snap Pretzels)
Hershey’s Hugs:
- 1 bag (11 oz) Hershey’s Hugs chocolates (unwrapped)
Red and Green M&M’s:
- 1 bag (10 oz) red and green M&M’s
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the pretzels in a single layer.
- Add Hershey’s Hugs: Place one Hershey’s Hug on the center of each pretzel. Bake for 4–5 minutes until the Hugs are soft but hold their shape.
- Add M&M’s: Remove from the oven and press one M&M gently into the center of each Hug. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until set.
- Store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
Notes
- You can use Hershey’s Kisses or Rolos for a flavor variation.
- Avoid overbaking to maintain the chocolate’s shape.
