Chocolate pretzel buttons.

I came across this recipe a while ago and immediately tagged it as a Valentine’s Day treat. Though I love the original circle-shaped edition, round pretzels just were not to be found in our town, so we opted for the “snaps,” the square thatched pretzels…which worked just as well.

You will need:

2 bags Hershey’s Kisses or Hugs (nut-free), or a combination of both
1 large bag M&M candies
1 bag pretzel rounds or squares
Cookie sheets
Parchment paper or foil

The most tedious part was unwrapping all of the Hershey’s Kisses & Hugs. But I did sneak a couple, which aided in the process and kept me going.

Hugs wrappers

Place the pretzels on the foil or parchment lined cookie sheets, then place a Kiss or Hug in the center of each.

Chocolate pretzel buttons

Place in a 350 degree oven for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes, just till candy begins to soften and melt. Remove and immediately press an M&M into the center of each kiss (a drinking straw helps keep your fingers mess-free). Cool slightly, then transfer sheets to the refrigerator for a few minutes to set.

These are addictive — I’ll warn you! But oh-so-good…and pretty cute, too. Enjoy!

Glad you enjoyed my recipe :)

I make this at Christmas time with rolo’s instead of kisses. They are very addicting.

These are super-cute! What a fun idea :)

Those look so yummy. I think I need to go buy some pretzels and valentine’s candy next week when it is on sale.

Thanks for the directions. I had these at Christmas with red and green m&m’s. I tried to re-create them, but my kisses did not look so smooth when I pushed the m&m down. Now I know I was baking them too long. These are so addicting for anyone who loves the sweet and salty combo, for sure!

oh – somebody gave us some of those for Christmas and they were so so so yummy & definitely addictive! yummo!

how cool, this makes a great gift idea. No chocolate for me for a while, too much already from V-day :)

Just made these last week for home group and they were a big hit! Thanks for sharing. :)

Daniel and I saw this recipe….and bookmarked it. Well, a couple of days later…Daniel ran to the store to get milk and came back with pretzels/hershey kisses/almonds. He was so excited for us to make this!!! They turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!
