Pretzel Candies

Well, Christmas weekend has officially arrived, so hopefully you already have your snacks and sweets ready for the holidays. But that's okay if you don't, because I've got you covered with one of the easiest snacks ever. The most time-consuming (and tedious) part of this recipe is unwrapping the chocolates. No joke. It's even a great one to make once the family is in town (or with the kids), because, well, more hands to help unwrap! Just be prepared to lose a few chocolates on the way (which may or may not happen even when it's a 26-year-old adult doing the prep....) Enjoy!

Pretzel Candies


1 bag mini twisted pretzels
A package or two of Rolos or Kisses, depending on how many you want to make
Small candies, marshmallows or nuts to top

Preheat oven to 350*. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Cover with one layer of pretzels. Place an unwrapped chocolate piece on each pretzel. Place in oven and cook for one or two minutes, until chocolate is soft but not melted. Top with desired candy. Cool and serve.

And another bonus about this recipe? They travel insanely well. Once they have fully cooled, you can pack them into whatever container you have on hand, and as long as it's reasonably full so they don't shake around too much, they should arrive at your destination fully intact. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a home-made treat arriving in the mail!
