The combination of salty and sweet is what makes these Peppermint Herskey Kiss Pretzel Bites so delicious! Not only are they delicious, they are also very quick and easy to make. Add some to your cookie boxes or pile them into a bag and tie them up with a ribbon for a festive holiday gift idea!
Start by preheating your oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the pretzels on the baking sheet, leaving an inch of space between each one. The space is not needed for any reason other than it makes it easy to top each pretzel with a candy later. Otherwise, it becomes to easy to accidently touch the melted chocolate with your fingers! Next, unwrap each Hershey Kiss and place one in the centre of each pretzel.
Place the baking sheet in the oven on the middle rack for exactly 4 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately place a red or white mint M&M in the centre of the chocolate kiss. Slightly press the candy into the chocolate.
Allow the Pepperming Hershey Kiss Pretzel Bites to cool completely.
Once the pretzel bites are fully cooled, you can package them into cellophane bags and tie the bags with a festive ribbon if you are planning to give these treats as a gift. Otherwise, I like to pile them into a clean mason jar and keep them in my pantry or in a snack cupboard.
