Hershey's Kiss and M&M Pretzels

These may very well be the easiest dessert to make in the entire world. They are great to bring to a party (think New Years), can be made in a matter of minutes and taste so good! Additionally, if you have kids who like to help out in the kitchen these are a great option because they are so simple. I recently made a batch and put them in bags with holiday ribbons for our neighbors.

Hershey's Kiss and M&M Pretzels


Ingredients:
1 bag of mini pretzels (can be regular, round or square)
1 bag of M&Ms (small bag will suffice)
1 bag of Hershey's Kisses (any kind you like - I used the regular ones in the photos above)


Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 170 degrees F
2. Unwrap the Hershey Kisses
3. Place the pretzels on a cookie sheet in a single layer
4. Place 1 Hershey Kiss on top of each pretzel
5. Bake in the oven for 4-6 minutes (chocolate should be soft when touched but still have its form)
6. Take the tray out of the oven and immediately press 1 M&M on top of each Hershey's Kiss
7. Put the tray in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the chocolate

Tip: Once they are done I store them in the fridge until it is time to serve them. If you leave them out in a warm room too long the chocolate tends to melt slightly.
