(In countries such as Germany, Spain, etc. holidays means vacation so some translations up above mean, "Happy vacation!") :)

Hi everybody! Yesterday was Christmas! Yesterday my aunt had a big family gathering where aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, coworkers, will get to see each other and exchange gifts, my favorite part!

I usually bring some kind of dessert to the Christmas gathering so today I will be "gifting" you my favorite simple Holiday dessert/snack/unstoppable force you can't stop shoving in your face...These pretzel bites are the perfect combination between salty and sweet. They're cute, easy to make, and are sturdy enough to store in a ziplock bag, perfect for bringing to a Christmas gathering.

A butter snap pretzel (squares, flat), a Hershey kiss, and an M & M. That's it!! That's why I love these! Let's get started...

_________________________________________________________________________

Lay your pretzels on a sheet pan in a single layer, depicted above...

Place your M & M on top of the pretzel and pop them in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until Hershey Kiss is shiny at a 275 degree preheated oven. This part is easier with a helper! They can unwrap Hershey Kisses and place them on the single layer of pretzels.


Once the Hershey Kisses are slightly melted (shiny) and soft enough to push a M & M candy into, glently push a M &M into the smushy Kiss until the M & M is secure and the Hershey Kiss has formed a sort of nest around the M & M, holding it in place, as shown below...

Place the warm candies into the fridge to harden. Once Hershey Kiss is cold and hard, place the candies in a ziplock container/bag. These are a great gift and an all around season dessert saver! For Christmas, when I make these candies I usually use Peppermint Hershey Kisses and red and green M & M's. For Easter you can use pastel M &M'S with a white chocolate Kiss, etc. You can really experiment and find flavors you enjoy. These take 10 minutes and are a great gift or snack around the holiday season!

Happy Holidays and have a safe and healthy New Year!!
