pretzel hugs
This is the easiest snack ever. And the kids will love to help. We made a bunch this weekend and delivered them to a few friends & neighbors. This was the first time that we used the waffle-style pretzels (instead of traditional). BIG hit. Much better.
1 bag pretzels
1 pkg. M&Ms
1 pkg. Hershey "Hugs"
Place pretzels on baking stone or sheet. Place a Hug on each pretzel and bake at 200 degrees for about 8 minutes (just watch for the Hugs to melt). Remove from oven and promptly place a couple of M&Ms on each pretzel, pressing into the melted chocolate. Allow to cool before serving. At room temperature, this takes SEVERAL hours. I would recommend making these the day before you plan on eating/delivering. Or you can put them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Note to self: I tried to experiment with the caramel-filled kisses (the batch before this one). Bad idea. It didn't work. But my friend, Karolyn, said that Rolos work. So maybe you'll want to try that version.
PS - Yes, I've put this "out there" before ... somewhere (maybe it was in a layout I published?). But not on my blog. So now it's here. : )

Now that you have shown these twice, I think this is going to be my son's treat for school. Such a kid friendly recipe! So very yummy! Thanks.
Great idea!! So cute & colorful. Thanks for sharing!!
Love these. I saw these from you somewhere a long time ago and everyone LOVES them. Thanks for sharing! :)
I think I originally saw this in your "family albums" book. OH MY GOODNESS -- these are so good! My 3 boys gobbled the first batch right up. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Aaaahhhh Becky. Use rollos and a pecan or a walnut....to die for!
Hi Becky
Great recipe! I always make them at Christmas - definately need to make this an "anytime" recipe! Thanks!

Thanks for the recipe, perfect for my son to take to school on Wednesday!
It's in the current CK issue 'cause I just got to that page today!

I saw these in the one of your books and made them, and they are so good!!!!! Beware, you don't stop with just one, or even two...:) Thanks Becky!
I've done this with the caramel kisses and it works just fine, they melt quicker, I think so you have to watch them. Also, I use baking parchment and then they don't stick to the pan. Then I put a pecan on. Yum!
Definitely do the fridge. About 30 mins and they are good to go.
Also, we like 'em with the dark chocolate kisses. I make these at Christmas time with the red & green m&ms. They are always a big hit!
And I agree, the waffle pretzels work best.
Love those! Love the waffle pretzels, rolos and a piece of a pecan on top!
Oh my! Now I want to make those. Thanks for the temptations.
Hmmm these are making my mouth water - it doesn't help that I started Weight Watchers AGAIN today LOL. I might have to check out the grocery store to see if we can get those "Hugs" here in Australia :).
Thanks Becky :)
Ohhhh, I'm so embarassed to admit this, BUT, I saw this recipe for the first time in the "Our Family Scrapbooks" by you and Lisa B. I looked ever so closely at the recipe and have been making these ever since- they are the BEST!! We love them straight from the fridge...soooo good. Thanks for sharing, and keep 'em coming!! ~laurel
Thanks Becky, I CAN NOT wait to make these!
This is the 2nd time I've seen this recipe in a couple of days. I've got to put kisses on my shopping list! Can't wait to try these! YUMMY!
oh my GOODness! I can't wait to try that!
These would be a hit at 6 yr old's Halloween Party! (with brown and orange m-'ee's) Terrific ideas and thanks for sharing!

I am totally making those for Christmas gifts this year. They are so yummy!
How cute!! I'm definitely going to make these one day. Thank you so much for sharing - you always have the neatest ideas on your blog! :)
Yes, I saw these in "Our Family Scrapbooks" too and knew that we had to make them. I am such a sucker for sweet AND salty. By the way, wasn't general conference amazing this past weekend?
mmm, I made these last year from christmas goodie giving. And a friend gave me the version with Rolos - those were sooo good! she layered a pretzel on bottom, Rolo, and then a pecan on top. It was just like a chocolate turle -- except much, much easier. =)
These look so yummy... Thaks for sharing! :)
Thanks for sharing this! We added a twist since my daughter is learning about Bats in kindergarten and she wanted a treat that "looked" like bats...we used the traditional shaped pretzel, placed a hershey kiss on the bottom of the pretzel and used black m&m's for the eyes(from the Halloween mix). Love coming here for more than scrapbooking ideas!
