Pretzel Treats

Pretzelkiss
We made these delicious candy treats over the holiday: chocolate on a pretzel. Here is how to do it (original recipe from Family Fun magazine):

1. Get some bite-size, waffle-shaped pretzels, Hershey's Kiss or Hershey's Hug candies, and M&M's candies (Smarties for the Brits).

2. Heat the oven to 170ºF (75 C). Set a number of bite-size, waffle-shaped pretzels (one for each treat) in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, then top each pretzel with an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss or Hershey's Hug.

3. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes (the white chocolate will melt more quickly), until the chocolates feel soft when touched with a wooden spoon. It is easy to overheat them, so go carefully with just a few until you can get it right. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and quickly (gently) press an M&M's candy into the center of each Kiss.

4. Allow the treats to cool for a few minutes, then place them in the refrigerator to set, about 10 minutes.
