Christmas Hershey Pretzels
These addictive Christmas Hershey Pretzels (also known as Pretzel M&M Hugs) are a fun, festive treat that is perfect for any holiday gathering.
I absolutely LOVE making festive treats for Christmas time, and these Christmas Hershey Pretzels are one of my absolute favorites. This recipe uses just 3 simple ingredients and can be made in large batches for any size crowd. I like to put out a large bowl of these when I host holiday parties or attend holiday potlucks. I also include these in my Christmas cookie gift boxes every year. Pick up some festive cookie tins on Amazon or at your local store, and add in all of your favorite holiday treats!
Ingredients
- Mini Pretzel Twists (or square pretzels)
- Hershey Kisses (I use milk chocolate)
- Holiday M&M’s
This Christmas treat is the PERFECT combination of sweet chocolate and the salty pretzel. Make sure you make more than you think you’ll need because these are addictive. Our guests are usually making multiple trips to the snack counter to grab more!
How to Make Christmas Hershey Pretzels
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Line the baking sheet with mini pretzel twists.
- Add unwrapped Hershey kiss on top of each pretzel.
- Bake in the oven for 4-6 minutes (until the chocolate is soft but not melted). They should still have the normal kiss shape.
- Remove from oven and immediately press M&Ms onto the top of each kiss. Press lightly so you don’t make a mess with the chocoalte.
- Let the treats cool for about 30 minutes or toss them in the fridge to cool in 15 minutes.
