Easter Pretzels
These easy Easter Pretzels need just three ingredients! They’re a delicious sweet-and-salty treat—perfect for snacking or decorating your holiday table.
Servings: 30 treats
Cost: $4.12
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!)

Notes
Note 1: If the chocolate is crumbling, it means the oven was too hot or the chocolate was baked too long. If the M&M’s won’t press in nicely, the oven was too cool or chocolate wasn’t baked long enough. I recommend baking 1 Easter Pretzel first to test since there is a lot of variance with ovens. Do not use convection oven settings.
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temp for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge or freezer.
