HERSHEY KISS PRETZEL BITES

INGREDIENTS:

-1 BAG OF M&Ms (I USED RED & GREEN FOR CHRISTMAS)

-1 BAG OF PRETZEL SQUARES

-1 BAG HERSHEY KISSES

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Align pretzels squares in one single layer and top with 1 Hershey kiss. Bake in the oven for 4-5 minutes until chocolate appears soft but NOT completely melted. When you take them out it should still look like they are holding their shape.

2. Remove from oven and gently place 1 M&M on top of the Hershey kiss and press down slightly.

I promise the more you make the easier it gets as you go along. you will also find that doing this in batches is ideal. I did about 3 sheet trays and made them until I ran out of Hershey kisses (you'll run out of those before anything else). But you can always make less. Place in fridge to allow them to cool and set up completely!
