Peppermint Pretzel Kisses

Today we’re sharing a classic treat with a minty twist! These m&ms pretzel kisses are our go-to gifting dessert. They’re so easy to make and wrap up into little candy bags to give to our neighbors, the mailman, and ourselves. 😉 This time we used peppermint Hershey Kisses and they are delicious! The sweet minty flavor makes them even more addicting, if you can imagine.

Here’s how to make them:
1. Spread out pretzels onto a baking sheet.
2. Unwrap Kisses and place them on top of each pretzel.
3. Bake at 200 for 5 minutes.
4. Remove baking sheet from oven and carefully press an m&m into each Kiss.
5. Let cool completely and enjoy!
**optional: add to a cellophane treat bag, tied with a ribbon and a Places for Faces gift tag 😉 **
