You guys, have I got a treat for you today!
Have you ever made M&M’S® pretzel bites? I used to love these things as a kid. They’re quick, easy to make, and absolutely delicious. The ones I just made are even better than the original!
Because they feature M&M’S® Crispy! They’re back baby! They were last around in 2005 (I was a sophomore in high school! Talk about a time hop!) and have been the most requested M&M’S® flavor every year since. I’m so excited they’re back on store shelves because they put my favorite Pretzel M&M’S® to shame. (And I freaking love Pretzel M&M’S®.) These are extra crunchy, extra chocolatey, and extra delicious. Bonus: they’re only 180 calories in a single serving bag!
In honor of their re-release I wanted to whip up one of my favorite childhood treats. You can imagine how M&M’S® Crispy enhance the traditional M&M’S® pretzel bites.
The directions are crazy simple:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Melt your favorite baking milk chocolate.
3. Lay out pretzels on a baking sheet.
4. Place a dollop of baking milk chocolate onto each individual pretzel.
5. Bake for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
6. Remove pretzels from oven and press M&M’S® Crispy pieces directly into the middle of each pretzel.
7. Place in the freezer for a few minutes to harden. (If you like your chocolate cold like I do. Otherwise just let them cool on the counter for a little while.
8. Eat and enjoy!
They’re so good and the perfect little bite-size treat!
They’re even better when shared with friends!
Questions of the Day: What’s your favorite M&M’S® flavor? Have you tried M&M’S® Crispy before? What’s your favorite food to pair with chocolate at girls’ night? This pizza my friend made was bomb.
