Valentine Pretzel Buttons



I saw this recipe, from this blog, on Pinterest and just HAD to try them!  They were delicious which is why the entire basket full of them had to go to work so that I wouldn't eat them all by myself.

The Recipe:

*Square pretzels

*1 bag of Hershey's Hugs

*Plain M&Ms

**Preheat oven to 200°.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place the pretzels on the parchment paper and top them with the Hugs.  

**Bake for 4-5 minutes until the chocolate is shiny and soft (NOT melted, more like a drooping kiss shape).

**Gently place an M&M in the center of each Hug and press it down to spread the chocolate.  

**Allow to cool completely before eating.  I put mine in the freezer for a bit to help the chocolate harden.

The verdict:

I will definitely make them again sometime.  They were fun and easy to make, festive in a Valentine basket, and so tasty!  I will likely add pastel M&Ms to the tops for Easter and a few upcoming parties.  I'm sure you could use a plain chocolate kiss as well, but the white chocolate Hug was extra special.
