Easter Pretzels are a three-ingredient win—quick to make, fun to eat, and pretty enough to decorate with.
Easter Pretzels
I created these Peppermint Bark Pretzels, and they were an absolute hit in my house!
With Easter right around the corner, I knew I had to create a spring version—and, no surprise, they’re just as delicious and easy to make.
With only three ingredients and a couple of minutes in the oven, you can have the perfect Easter treat for guests to snack on or to add to a gift bag.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these easy Easter Pretzels:
| Ingredient | Tip |
|---|---|
| Pretzels | Use snaps or twists since they hold the chocolate best. Avoid butter-flavored pretzels. |
| Chocolates | Use regular Kisses, Hugs, or Rolo candies. Mix and match for variety. |
| M&M’s | Pastel works great for spring, but regular M&M’s work too. |
Easter Pretzels Quick Tips
- Line your pan: Use parchment or a silicone liner for easy removal.
- Watch the oven: Warm just until soft—don’t let the chocolate melt too much.
- Move fast: Press M&M’s in before the chocolate sets.
- Don’t stress the look: Hugs have a tendency to melt unevenly, but they still taste great. Adjust time or temp if needed.
Easter Pretzel Serving Ideas
- Use as edible decor on dessert trays or charcuterie boards.
- Use to decorate a cake or cupcakes as cute toppers.
- Serve in a candy dish or mason jar for a grab-and-go treat.

Equipment
- Large sheet pan (15" x 21")
- Silicone baking mat or parchment paper
Ingredients
- 30 pretzels snaps or twists
- 30 unwrapped chocolate candies Hershey’s kisses, Hershey’s Hugs, or Rolos (or a combination of the 3!)
- 30 M&M’s pastel/Easter colors
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Line one large, or two smaller, sheet pans with a silicone liner or parchment paper. (Don’t skip lining the pan!)
- Lay the pretzels out on the sheet pan. Place an unwrapped chocolate kiss, hug, or Rolo on top of each pretzel. Bake for 2–4 minutes (see note 1) or until the chocolates are soft but not melted.
- Immediately out of the oven, press an M&M on the top of each chocolate.
- Let candies stand at room temperature for about 1 hour or until chocolate is hardened and candies can easily be picked up from the tray. (Place in the fridge to speed up the process; I actually like these best chilled and straight from the fridge!)

Why would you leave the wrapper on when adding to the oven. Does not make any sense to me. I would think to unwrap the chocolate before putting on top of pretzel so it will stick to the pretzel and m&m will stick chocolate kiss. Please response because I would like to make them for Easter. Thank you.
You need to unwrap them; it says “unwrapped” in the ingredient list and the instructions
