Equipment

  • 1 oven
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 piece parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag Christmas M&M's or color of choice for any other holiday.
  • 1 bag Hershey's hugs could also try with seasonal flavors.
  • 1 bag grid pretzels

Instructions
 

  • Unwrap all of your Hershey hugs. I always do this first because it's the most tedious part of the recipe.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.And a layer of your pretzels to the baking sheet. Add the hugs on top of the pretzels, somewhat centered.
  • Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • After or even while it preheats, (this won't take long) add your baking sheet with your pretzels and hugs to the oven.
  • Keep an eye on them as they bake, it will take about 4-5 minutes for the chocolate to soften enough to press a M&M flat. Around 4 minutes I test this.
  • If the M&M goes flat against the chocolate after your test, remove from the oven.
  • Quickly (and carefully, the baking sheet will be hot) add a M&M to the top of each hug, pressing down so that they adhere together.
  • Place tray in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to allow to chill and harden. Store your Christmas pretzel M&M hugs (I call them reindeer noses too) in an airtight container before serving, for up to a few weeks, but they really won't last that long!
