Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 50 pretzel twists or squares
- 50 Hershey’s hugs chocolates (unwrapped)
- 50 M&M candies (holiday or regular colors)
This is the ingredient list, with all ingredients listed from the original recipe, organized and formatted as requested.
Instructions
- Arrange a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a neat grid of mini pretzels spaced evenly to allow room for chocolate placement.
- Position a single Hersheys Hug chocolate centered atop each pretzel, ensuring balanced coverage and stability.
- Transfer the prepared baking sheet into a preheated oven calibrated to 250F, which provides gentle heat to soften chocolates without complete liquefaction.
- Monitor the chocolate transformation closely, observing as Hugs become glossy and slightly malleable within 3-4 minutes without losing structural integrity.
- Carefully extract the baking sheet, utilizing gentle pressure to nestle a colorful M&M directly into the soft chocolate’s center, creating a visually appealing design.
- Allow the confections to stabilize at room temperature, permitting chocolate to resolidify and create a seamless bond between pretzel, Hug, and M&M.
- Accelerate cooling by briefly chilling the treats in the refrigerator, which helps solidify the chocolate and enhance structural cohesion.
- Once completely set, separate the pretzel clusters from the parchment and arrange on a serving platter, ready for immediate enjoyment.
Notes
- Perfectly soften chocolate by using an ultra-low oven temperature to prevent complete melting.
- Select mini pretzels with uniform size to ensure consistent and visually appealing treats.
- Experiment with different chocolate varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate hugs for unique flavor combinations.
- Chill quickly in the refrigerator to help the chocolate set faster and create a firmer texture.
