Ingredients

• Bite-size, waffle-shaped pretzels

• Hershey’s Kiss or Hershey’s Hug

• M&M’s candy

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 150F.  Place bite-sizes, waffle-shaped pretzels in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, then place an unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss or Hershey’s Hug on each pretzel.
2. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes (the white chocolate will melt more quickly), until the chocolates feel soft when touched. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and press one M&M  candy into the center of each  Kiss.  Do this step quickly.
3. Allow the treats to cool for a few minutes, then place them in the refrigerator to set, about 10 minutes. Place handfuls of the candies in clear plastic bags and tie with colorful ribbons.
