M&M Flower Pretzels are cute, simple treats made with just pretzels, white candy melts, and pastel M&M’s.
M&M Flower Pretzels
I love making these flower pretzels—they’re easy, delicious, and perfect for adding a fun Spring touch to desserts like a dirt cake.
The sweet and salty combo is unbeatable, just like another favorite treat—turtles!
Here’s What You’ll Need
You’ll only need three ingredients to make M&M Flower Pretzels:
| Ingredient | Tips & Swaps |
|---|---|
| Pretzel Snaps | Use snap-style pretzels for a flat, sturdy base. Avoid twists. Mini waffle pretzels also work. |
| White Candy Melts | Use a quality brand for smooth melting. Ghirardelli melts beautifully. Melting wafers work too, but flavor is slightly less rich. |
| Pastel M&M’s | Spring pastel is my favorite, but you can swap for red and pink for Valentine’s Day, red and green for Christmas, or school colors for parties. |
Quick Tip
Use leftover pretzel snaps in Leprechaun Thumbprints or Peppermint Bark Pretzels!
How To Make M&M Flower Pretzels

Recipe Tips
These M&M Flower Pretzels are easy to make, but here are a few tips:
- Line Pan: Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Quick Assembly: Have your M&M’s ready before removing the pretzels from the oven, as the candy melts set quickly.
- Switch Colors: Mix and match M&M colors to create fun, themed flowers for special occasions or holidays.
- Hide the “M”: Place M&M’s with the “M” side down for a cleaner look.
Storage
Store M&M Flower Pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
