Christmas Pretzel Hugs with M&M’s
Someone recently asked me if I could give them advice on starting a blog. My husband chimed in and said, “Tell her to never give up. We never gave up!” I was sassy in return and said, “We?!” His support is the ‘we’ which is just as important as the actual work, but I like to tease him.
So the next day I asked him to unwrap a bazillion Hersey Hugs for me and I got the side eye. There were so many I asked my son to help, too! I convinced him it was the work of ‘we’ he had previously referred to so he got to work unwrapping!
I love these little Christmas M&M Pretzel Hugs! I make endless amounts of them every Christmas because they are so easy to make large batches of quickly. Some of my other favorite combinations are S’mores Pretzel Bites, Peppermint Pretzel Bites, Mint M&M Christmas Pretzels with Hugs, and Rolo Pretzel Turtles!

Recipe Notes:
- Pretzels – You don’t have to use round pretzels. I prefer the round pretzels because the Hug melts evenly, so they look better. But they are only in store’s during the holidays. The next best option is the square pretzels.
- Quantity – It’s best to make one pan of these at a time. You don’t want to manage too many at once because the Hug starts to set. You want to be able to easily press the M&M into the melted chocolate.
- M&M’s – You can use any M&M you’d like.
