A cute sweet and salty bite size s’mores treat that everyone will love! And only 3-ingredients needed!
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’ve ever walked down the holiday candy aisle and left without being able to resist grabbing my classic favorites and/or trying a new candy! This year my son convinced me to try Hersey’s S’more Kisses. I wasn’t so sure.
I am soooo glad we gave them a try! They are so creamy and delicious! I had planned on eating them as is, but my kitchen has been hopping with all sorts of holiday treats so my son suggested I try making these S’mores Pretzels Bites! He came up with this clever idea all on his own!
Why S’mores Pretzel Bites are the Perfect Holiday Gift
- They are homemade – and super easy to make! They fit perfectly into any Christmas gifting container!
- These treats travel well. You can drive or fly with them and they’ll survive!
- They ship nicely. Just wrap them up appropriately and they arrive the same way you sent them!
- You can make a lot of them in a short amount of time. So you can cover several gift recipients at once!
What You Need to Make S’mores Pretzel Bites
- Round Pretzels
- Hersey’s S’mores Kisses
- Mini-Marshmallows
How to Make S’mores Pretzel Bites
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Distribute 48 (or desired number) round pretzels evenly on the pan.
- Unwrap 48 (equal amount to pretzels) Hersey’s S’mores Kisses.
- Place unwrapped Hersey’s S’mores Kisses in the center of the pretzels.
- Put in the oven for 4 minutes.
- As soon as you remove the pan from the oven, lightly press a mini-marshmallow into the center of the Kisses. Repeat until all of the S’mores Pretzel Bites are made.
- Let cool until the Hersey’s Kisses have hardened.
Tips for Making S’mores Pretzel Bites
- The baking time may vary for you. Baking the Hersey’s S’mores Kisses for 4 minutes is the perfect amount of time for me. But ovens vary and you may need 4 1/2 – 5 minutes. Start with 4 minutes. The chocolate should nicely melt over the sides of the pretzels when you press the mini-marshmallow into it. But, not so much that it drips over the side.
- You don’t have to use round pretzels. I prefer the round pretzels because the Hersey’s S’mores Kiss melts evenly and it looks nice, but they are only in the stores during the holiday’s. If you can’t find round pretzels, the next best option is the square pretzels. The Hersey’s S’mores Kiss will also melt evenly and look equally as nice!
- Don’t try to make more than one pan of S’mores Pretzel Bites at once. It’s best to make one pan at a time because you have to place the mini-marshmallow on the melted Kiss quickly. If you make too many at once you won’t be able to get to all of them before the Kiss starts setting. You want to be able to easily press the mini-marshmallow into the Hersey’s S’mores Kiss.
- Have the mini-marshmallows ready to go by the time the oven timer goes off.
- There is a creamy filling in the center of the Hersey’s S’mores Kisses. So make sure to lightly, emphasis on lightly, push the mini-marshmallow into the melted Kiss. If you press too firmly, the creamy filling will ooze out of the Kiss.
How to Store S’mores Pretzel Bites
- Be sure to cover the S’mores Pretzel Bites as soon as they are cooled. If they are left uncovered for too long, the mini-marshmallows will dry out.
- For freshness, be sure to keep these treats in a sealed container. They’ll keep nicely for up to a week.
