Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
- Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper and spread the pretzels evenly in a single layer.
- Unwrap the chocolate kisses and place one in the center of each pretzel.
- Bake for 3½ to 5 minutes, just until the chocolate becomes soft but not fully melted.
- Remove from the oven and gently press one candy-coated chocolate into the center of each softened kiss.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- Don’t over-bake: The chocolate kisses only need to soften, not fully melt. Overheating will make the chocolate runny and messy.
- Use parchment paper: Lining your baking sheet prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Customize the topping: Swap candy-coated chocolates for M&M’s, Reese’s Pieces, or holiday-colored candies for festive variations.
- Perfect for gifting: These pretzel treats hold up well in treat bags or tins, making them great for homemade gifts.
- Kid-friendly recipe: Little hands love helping press the candy on top—just let the chocolate cool slightly first.
