I am sharing this tried and true, simple candy recipe with you today, because before you know it Christmas will be here. I first had these little snacks years ago when a coworker brought them for a potluck at work. These little candy bites are perfect to give away as gifts or just as good to make and eat with your family around the holidays.
Helpful Hints: With all of the different kinds of Hershey Kisses and M&Ms that there are now, you can use any number of different flavor combinations with these. You can also use Rolo candies instead of Hershey Kisses, and there are plenty of other little chocolates/toppings that could be used in place of the kisses or M&Ms. And of course, with M&Ms, you can always coordinate the colors for a holiday or season.
Pretzel, Hershey Kiss, and M&M Bites
Pretzel snaps (or your favorite small pretzel)
Hershey Kisses
M&Ms
1. Place the pretzel squares on a baking sheet, and top each one with a Hershey Kiss.
2. Cook for 3 minutes in a 200 degree oven.
3. Press an M&M into the center of each Hershey Kiss. Refrigerate for approximately 15-20 minutes or until cool.
Just to show you how you can change up this recipe….Here is an awesome variation from Hersheys.com
- Miniature marshmallows
- Small pretzels(twisted)
- HERSHEY’S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolates
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. Place one pretzel for each pretzel s’more desired on prepared sheet. Top each pretzel with 3 marshmallows and another pretzel.
3. Bake 4 to 5 minutes or until marshmallows soften and begin to puff. Remove from oven and gently press chocolate on each top pretzel. Allow treats to sit several minutes in order for chocolate pieces to melt enough to adhere to pretzels and to soften slightly. Treats are best if eaten while chocolate piece is still soft.
You could also try doing this with M&M minis!

Wow, those look absolutely neat. And easy, which is great.
These little treats look so good. I heard about these from someone at work, so I decided to look it up and see if I could find a recipe. Thanks for sharing. I plan on making these with my grandchildren as a special Christmas project we can do together.
Wonderful work! This is the type of info that should be shared across the net. Disgrace on the search engines for now not positioning this publish upper! Come on over and consult with my site . Thank you =)
I am really enjoying the theme/design of your web site. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility issues? A few of my blog readers have complained about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any recommendations to help fix this issue?
I am opposed to the latest ad on tv. It shows a pretzel (stripping) out of it’s candy shell and singing “I’m so sexy”". Is this
really the message you are trying to send to children? My daughter could not figure out where her 6 year old son had picked up this tune considering how carefully she monitors his media access. PLEASE find a better way to advertise to children.

Ma’am, I did not create the commercial that your grandchild saw on tv. I am merely an individual that has a cooking blog where I share recipes I enjoy. You complaints would be better sent to the distributors of whatever product was advertised.
