My sister hosted a Bunko-ween party and we prepared a delicious array of Halloween appetizers and treats. I decided to make mini pretzels with M & M's in festive orange and black. Cute, tasty and really easy. I carefully laid out each mini pretzel on a baking sheet and placed an M & M in the center, then put them in the oven. After about three minutes at 350 degrees, I checked the treats only to find the M & M's weren't melting! They literally fell right off the pretzels. Then, after 10 minutes I noticed the chocolate burning in the hard candy shells! It was then I realized there MUST be some kind of "glue" or something I was missing. Yes, there was! You're supposed to gently melt a Hershey's Kiss on the mini pretzels, then quickly press the M & M's in the soft chocolate "glue." Duh!! It was truly a Blonde Moment - but a huge hit at the party!As you can see from the photo, these are great treats for any holiday, or just for fun! Use the various Hershey's Kiss varieties and multi-colored M&M's for any occasion! FYI: it's best to work in smaller batches of 20 or so because the kisses harden quickly.
