Holiday Pretzel Treats

bite-size, pretzels

Hershey's Kiss, unwrapped

M&M's

Heat oven to 170 F. Set a number of pretzels (one for each treat) in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, then top each pretzel with an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss.

Bake for 4-6 minutes, until the chocolates feel soft when touched with a wooden spoon. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and quickly press an M&M into the center of each Kiss. 

Allow the treats to cool for a few minutes, then place them in the refrigerator to set, about 10 minutes.
