CHOCOLATE PRETZEL SQUARES

One of those "Why didn't I think of that?" easy-to-make treats to send in to school or bring to the office. Inexpensive, too! Who doesn't like the taste of salt & chocolate together? The prep time includes the microwave time. Honestly, it takes the longest time just to unwrap the Hershey's Kisses. =^..^=

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bag of thin pretzel squares
some hershey's kisses, unwrapped, one per pretzel square
some plain m & m's, one per pretzel square (you can color-coordinate for the holidays)
ANOTHER GREAT IDEA:
some hershey's hugs white chocolate kisses, unwrapped (instead of the hershey's kisses)

Steps:

  • 1. Place pretzels on a microwavable plate. Place an unwrapped Hershey's kiss on each pretzel square.
  • 2. Microwave for just enough seconds** (see below) to start to melt the chocolate enough that an M & M can be pressed into the top of the Hershey's kiss.
  • 3. **(My microwave takes 47 seconds, then I let them stay on the warm plate for another 30 seconds or so before pressing in the M & M. If the M & M doesn't go down easily, leave it & work on another before coming back to the stubborn M & M.)
  • 4. Only do a few at a time so that the chocolate doesn't have time to harden again.
  • 5. Cool on a cooling rack (or 10 minutes in the freezer) & store in an air-tight container until ready to serve.
  • 6. ANOTHER GREAT IDEA: Use Hershey's Hugs in place of the Hershey's Kisses. The stripes look very festive!

I got this idea from Taste of Home. I kicked it up a notch and they really taste good. Also, they are so pretty and festive.

Number Of Ingredients 3

small square pretzels
dark chocolate hershey kisses
peanut butter m&ms

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 275°. Using a greased cookie sheet, place a Hershey Kiss on each pretzel square. Place cookie sheet in the oven for about 2 minutes. All you want to do is soften the kiss. As soon as you take them out of the oven, press an M&M in the center of each kiss. Put them in the fridge or freezer to harden and then store them at room temp in an airtight container.
