Cook Time: 3 minutes
Additional Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 8 minutes
Servings: 35 pretzel hugs

Ingredients

  • 35 Hershey’s Hugs Candy
  • 35 M & M candies
  • 35 square pretzels

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • While the oven is heating, unwrap all of the Hershey hugs and set them aside.
  • Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the desired amount of pretzels on the parchment-lined baking sheet. We did 35 pretzels on our baking sheet.
  • Top each square pretzel with one Hershey’s hug. Ensure the hug is in the center of the pretzel to avoid spill over. Once
    all of the hugs are in place, put the baking sheet in the oven for 3 minutes 30 seconds or until the hugs are slightly melted.
  • Remove from the oven. Using a toothpick, gently jiggle the center of each hug to flood the chocolate on the pretzel.
  • Then gently set in place one M & M in the center of each hug. Ensure you do not press down or the chocolate may run
    over the edge of the pretzel. Repeat this step until all the hugs have an M & M.
  • Place on a cooling rack to cool at room temperature or you can also place them in the refrigerator or freezer for an
    expedited cooling.
  • Package in your favorite airtight jar or tin for a cute gift or serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Oven times may vary. If your hug is not melted enough, heat for an additional 30 seconds.
I can’t find square pretzels! What else can you use?
Mini pretzel twists or round pretzels will work, too!
How do you store them?
Keep them in an airtight container and they will keep well for up to week at room temperature. You can also keep them in the refrigerator and they will last longer.
Can you freeze pretzel hugs?
Yes, they freeze great! Store them in a freezer-safe bag or container and they will keep for up to three months. Let them thaw before serving.
