M&M Kissed Pretzels
Author: Audra
Ingredients
- Pretzels, mini square or twist shape
- Hershey Kisses
- Festive M&M's
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 175 F.
- Then cut out a piece of parchment paper and place on a cookie sheet.
- Lay out each pretzel on the parchment paper and place a kiss on each one.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes and remove from oven.
- The kisses will still be in shape. Gently press a M&M on each kiss. You want the chocolate soft enough to press the M&M's down. An extra pair of hands is nice if available!
- Refrigerate until the chocolates have hardened.
Notes
You can also do peppermint kisses. I recommend cooking the white chocolate in a separate batch because the white chocolate will melt faster. Cook only 3-5 minutes and then place a M&M on each kiss. The white chocolate is not as sturdy, but it works! Refrigerate until the chocolates have hardened.
Kissed Pretzels mmm….
M&M Kissed Pretzels YUM!

I made the M&M Kissed Pretzels with dark chocolate kisses for some reason the chocolate turns spotted but they tasted so much better. Any add suggestions?
Thank you

I made the M&M Kissed Pretzels. following your recipe. I even made several batches–even adjusted the time and temperature.. The chocolate was too hard and broke when I pushed M&M in. It looks a mess. Those that did look ok broke apart after cooled. I tried. Any advice?
I have made these pretzels for years but never with Hershey kisses. I buy the round dark and milk chocolate baking disks (little round pieces…like a non perelle) and that works perfect
Hey Lainey, I know it’s been a year, but the solution to cracking is to actually reduce the time in the oven. Mine come out perfectly at 200* for 4 minutes. Leaving them in too long dries the outside of the M&M. Less is more!
These are so fun, the kids really loved making them!
I made these with Glutino Gluten Free pretzels which are nice and flat. They are super crispy and delicious. Perfect for this recipe. I used milk chocolate Hershey Kisses and put a Carmel M&M on top. Baked @ 175 for 5 minutes and they were PERFECT! Couldn’t have been any easier or more delicious. My co-worker made these for our potluck since I can’t eat gluten and they were so good that I couldn’t leave them alone. So I had to make a batch, too. Thanks for the great recipe!
