Make M&M Pretzel Treats Recipe

Your basic pretzel has many possibilities for making a seasonal or party snack.


Every homemaker likes to have a few recipes for quick treats in their cookbook. Treats that can be whipped up as a fun surprise for friends and loved ones will also create smiles. Pretzels can be made into a colorful treat, and used for a holiday party snack tray or an in-between meals snack. As a small snack during the day, pretzels can help to curb appetites and keep blood sugar at a healthy level. There are a number of ways to use pretzels together with M&Ms and other candies. Try this recipe and then make up a variation of your own.

1. White chocolate will melt more quickly than the dark chocolate, but both look great on a pretzel.


Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the cookie sheets with wax paper or parchment and fill them with rows of pretzels. Put a chocolate kiss or a spoonful of melted almond bark on each pretzel. If you are using candy melts, you can squeeze some onto each pretzel using a squeeze bottle.


2. Set the cookie sheets in the oven, and bake the pretzels for four to six minutes. Test the chocolate with a wooden spoon, and when they feel soft, it is time to remove the cookie sheets from the oven. Press an M&M into the melted chocolate center of each pretzel.


3. Like a kid in a candy store, mix it up and use different candies in the center of your pretzels.


When the pretzels have cooled for a few minutes, place them in the refrigerator to set for about 10 minutes.
