🎁 Ingredients
(Exact ingredients can vary depending on your version — here’s a classic base that works beautifully!)
- 1 package of pretzels (small twists or squares)
- 1 bag of chocolate candies (like Rolos, Kisses, or mini peanut butter cups)
- 1 cup of pecan halves or festive M&Ms for topping
🔥 How to Make Them
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Assemble:
- Place pretzels in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Top each pretzel with one chocolate candy.
- Bake:
- Bake for about 3–4 minutes — just until the chocolate softens (not melts completely).
- Top & set:
- Remove from oven and immediately press a pecan half or M&M on top of each softened candy.
- Let cool completely, or refrigerate to set the chocolate.
That’s it — done and delicious!
💡 Tips & Variations
- Use white chocolate and crushed peppermint for a festive twist.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty upgrade.
- Try different candies — peanut butter cups, caramel chocolates, or even Andes mints.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long!).
