75milk chocolate M&M'sred and green Christmas variety
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat baking mat.
Place the pretzels on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Unwrap the chocolate hugs and place 1 hug in the center of each pretzel.
Bake for 4-5 minutes or until the chocolate is shiny and soft, but not melting (chocolates should still hold their shape). Remove from the oven and immediately press an M&M in the center of each melty hug, gently pressing down on the M&M to spread the chocolate.
Let chocolate set (can do so at room temp, in the fridge, or freezer). Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Storing and Freezing: Store the treats in an airtight container or Ziplock bag at room temperature for 1-2 weeks. Since these Christmas hugs stay good for a week or so, you can definitely make them ahead of time.Freeze the treats in a Ziplock bag once completely set. They'll last in the freezer for 2-3 months.
