Ingredients
Scale:
1 bag of small square pretzels (about 7 ounces)
1 cup of milk chocolate chips
1 cup of white chocolate chips
1 cup of festive M&M's or chocolate candies
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place one milk chocolate chip on top of each pretzel.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the chocolate is soft but not fully melted.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately press one M&M into the center of each melted chocolate chip.
Allow the Christmas Pretzel Hugs to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once set, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
