Ingredients You'll Need
1. Pretzels
To make these Christmas Pretzel Hugs, you'll need a bag of mini pretzels. These are the perfect size for creating the hug shape and have just the right amount of crunch.
2. Hershey's Hugs
The next key ingredient for this recipe is Hershey's Hugs, which are the white and milk chocolate candies wrapped in silver foil. These will be the center of our pretzel hugs and provide the perfect combination of sweet and creamy flavors.
3. Red and Green M&M's
To add a pop of festive color to our pretzel hugs, we'll also need some red and green M&M's. These can be found in the holiday candy section of most grocery stores and will be used to decorate the top of our pretzels.
4. Parchment Paper
To prevent the pretzels from sticking to the baking sheet, it's important to have some parchment paper on hand. This will also make clean-up a breeze!
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven
The first step in making these Christmas Pretzel Hugs is to preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. This low temperature will ensure that the chocolate doesn't melt too quickly and that our pretzels don't burn.
2. Arrange the pretzels on the baking sheet
Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the mini pretzels in a single layer. Make sure to leave some space between each pretzel so that they don't stick together.
3. Add the Hershey's Hugs
Unwrap the Hershey's Hugs and place one on top of each pretzel.
4. Bake in the oven
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 4-5 minutes until the chocolate has softened.
5. Add the M&M's
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently press a red or green M&M into the center of each Hershey's Hug.
6. Let cool and enjoy!
Allow the pretzel hugs to cool for a few minutes before enjoying them with your loved ones. These Christmas Pretzel Hugs make the perfect holiday snack or gift for friends and family.
