Lovely Little Recipe: Pretzelies Are Back!

You know what’s funny - out of all the posts I’ve put together this one remains one of the most popular, which to me is hilarious because it has nothing to do with the rest of the content I put up everyday. Regardless, I have put this up the past two years and think it’s time again to share with you (and I know Alicia already made a batch!). Let me introduce you to my favorite treat, pretzelies. If you like sweet and salty like I do, then I think you might get hooked!

Pretzelies Recipe
Ingredients
1 bag of Snyders pretzel snaps (or generic brand square grid pretzels)
1 bag (or more) of hershey kiss hugs, caramel filled kisses and/or peanut butter filled kisses
1 medium bag of holiday colored M&Ms
Sea Salt

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spread the pretzel snaps evenly across the cookie sheet(s) - I keep a bowl handy for the broken pretzels so they don’t go to waste.

3. Unwrap hersey kisses/hugs and place one in the center of each pretzel.

4. Put in the oven for about 1 minute, up to 2 at the most.  You will see the candies getting shiny and you can do a test with an M&M to see if it presses in to the melted chocolate easily.  Note - watch this carefully, if they are in too long they will start to brown.  Also, the caramel kisses take longer and peanut butter kisses tend to take less time.

5. When ready, take tray out of oven and press one M&M on top of each kiss/hug.  I usually do this on top of the stove to keep the tray warm and keep the candies soft while I am placing the M&Ms on top.

6. Take a few pinches of sea salt and sprinkle over tray of pretzelies to increase the sweet/salty flavor (not mandatory but it tastes good!)

7. Put the tray in the fridge and let the pretzelies set - usually only takes 30 minutes or so.

Serve and enjoy!

These make great hostess gifts and are also a lot of fun to make with kids.  I make this with Pat’s nieces and nephews and they always look forward to it because everyone can have a “job” and they are very easy to do. Note - you do not have to use each kind of hershey kisses, but those are the kind I recommend - Hershey Hugs provide the pretty striped look.

    I'm absolutely making these! So cute!

  • Jillian says on December 6, 2010 Reply

    I love these! I use a rolo instead of the kisses as they have the caramel. and the flat top makes it even easier to put on the M&M! They are also yummy with a pecan on top or as a sandwich between two pretzel squares. They are certainly a holiday favorite with our family as well!

  • Frugalista says on December 7, 2010 Reply

    I know these taste good….'cause of you! They are just so full of flavor and a really yummy treat!!

  • Saying I do says on December 7, 2010 Reply

    I make something very similar to this every year for New Year's and they are always the biggest hit of the party! I use regular chocolate hershey kisses (I put the oven at 200 to 250) and then press another pretzel on top of it once it melts, so I have a little chocolate pretzel sandwich! Yours are much more festive though!

  • toddpage says on December 7, 2010 Reply

    obviously we know how I feel about these.

    I'm here to tell you I'm in LOVE with that last photo.

  • Valery says on December 9, 2010 Reply

    I am so in love with this idea. Thank you!!

  • ariellamonti says on December 18, 2010 Reply

    Wow, this is probably the easiest Christmas DIY I've seen all season. I wish I saw this before I bought a giant tub of Pillsbury cookie dough. I'm totes saving this for next year, or maybe even New Years.

  • Brit @ Landlocked Bride says on November 21, 2011 Reply

    I actually make a sandwich version of these by putting another pretzel on top (without the M&M). I know some people like to use Rolos instead, too, and add a pecan. Yum either way!

  • Kiele Gregoire says on November 21, 2011 Reply

    these ARE the best. alwayssss a hit! thanks for reminding me that they exist!!

  • dancy says on November 21, 2011 Reply

    I still have the jar that you sent us - it holds some hairpins. LOL I like that first pic too - those look like Easter colors, I love how easy these are & how you can make them for all sorts of holidays by just changing the color of the M&M’s. :)

  • Anna says on November 21, 2011 Reply

    Yummmm!!! I might have to make these this week.

  • hena tayeb says on November 21, 2011 Reply

    Wowzers! Yep, I’ll be making these for my husband! I love how you put them in a jar; they’d make the most delicious gift (not to mention inexpensive).

  • Lane says on December 5, 2011 Reply

    I have been wanting to try these since you posted them last year. I finally remembered to buy the ingredients at the store. Am I glad I did. I made them with the candy cane kisses…. OMG they are so addicting. I planned on giving them out as our Christmas treat, but so far I have gone through a whole bag of kisses just for us.
