How To Make An Awesome Pretzel Snack

Sitting in front of the T.V. bored and hungry?


Indulge your sweet tooth and set your inner salty-side free by turning boring movie night snacks into crunchy, easy-to-make treats that will impress everyone!

To make these yummy snacks you will only need a cookie sheet and three ingredients: Twisted PretzelsHershey's Kisses or Drops and M&M's.


Start off by turning on the oven to:


After that gather two of your three ingredients: Pretzels, chocolate (Kisses or Drops).


I suggest the pretzels from Whole Foods brand 365 - that I used here. They are a great bargain and they have an unsalted option (you can sprinkle some sea salt on the chocolate as it cools from the oven).


Also, use the twisted pretzels, not the sticks. While I do favor the competition, the twisted ones can support the dollop of chocolate melting at its core but the sticks only make the treat look like a raft. Remember we're baking here, not floating.


The next ingredient offers the chef a chance to make a statement and personalize the dish. You can either use the classic Hershey Kisses or the innovative Hershey Drops. I've cooked with both and it really comes down to labor and money - with the drops you don't have to individually unwrap anything and you get about 20-25 Drops in a King Size bag.


Now that you've placed your chocolate on the pretzels place them in the oven and cook for three minutes.



The chocolate will not melt but will be soft enough to press an M&M on top!


Now that you're an expert snack baker capable of blending two amazing flavor combinations with colorful candy confections, simply serve and enjoy!
