Looking for a super simple July 4th treat that everyone will devour? These red, white, and blue Hershey Kiss pretzels with M&Ms are salty, sweet, and come together with just three ingredients. You can swap the M&Ms for almonds or pecans for a more grown-up nibble too. They're fun to make, easy on the budget, and disappear FAST. Perfect for picnics, backyard BBQs, or sharing in a mason jar as a thoughtful gift!
Place pretzels on a cookie sheet. I prefer the regular small pretzels or the waffle ones.
Place an unwrapped Hershey Kiss on the center of the pretzels.
Bake for about 4 minutes at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove from oven and test a chocolate kiss to see if a candy easily presses into it.
Gently place your topping treat (candy) on the Kiss and press it gently down into the Kiss.
Notes
**Have the family help unwrap the Hershey Kisses - That's what takes the longest time in this recipe.SubstitutionsI usually use milk chocolate kisses. But, you can also find dark chocolate or a variety of other kisses.Instead of using M&M's - a healthier twist would be using a nut - almonds, pecan halves and walnuts work.I know some people love using Rolo chocolates! The additional caramel gives it a delightful extra texture and flavor.
