These Christmas Pretzel Hugs are so easy and festive Christmas candy, so easy the kids can do it!
‘Tis the season for cookies! Whenever we make cookies for our friends and family, I love to include little candies and these Christmas Pretzel Hugs!
These Chocolate Hug Pretzels are perfect to gift to neighbors and friends in pretty mason jars wrapped with some ribbon or in your Christmas cookie bouquets.
It’s such a simple recipe too! The kids have loved helping me make these for years now!
How to Make Christmas Pretzel Hugs
I love that you only need 3 ingredients too!
- Hershey Hugs,
- Christmas M&M’s and
- Pretzels
Bake in the 200 degree oven for about 4 minutes. The kisses will still have their shape but they’ll be just on the edge of melting.
As soon as you remove them from the oven, place an M&M in the center of each candy, and push it down to spread out the hug.
Chill your christmas pretzel hugs in the fridge for 30 minutes-1 hour and enjoy!
