M&M’S® Crispy Pretzel Bites

August 5, 2015 130 Comments

You guys, have I got a treat for you today!

M&M’S® Crispy Pretzel Bites Her Heartland Soul

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!

M&M’S® Crispy Pretzel Bites Her Heartland Soul

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!

M&M’S® Crispy Pretzel Bites Her Heartland Soul

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.

M&M’S® Crispy Pretzel Bites Her Heartland Soul

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!

    Love these! Just found out about M&M crispy bites and I love them, they’re addicting. They’re basically a crunch bar and M&Ms together. I’ll have to try this out this weekend.

    Those look delicious, Erin! I make a similar recipe using Rolos for the melting chocolate. So good! I have to say peanut M&M’s will always have my heart… but the crispy ones are fewer in calories, that’s for sure! 😉 Thanks for sharing!
