Ingredients

  • 75 square pretzels
  • 75 Hershey's Hugs
  • 75 milk chocolate M&M's red 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.
