Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 12 oz Butter Snap Pretzels
  • 12 oz White Candy Melts
  • 10 oz Valentine’s Blend M&M’s (assorted colors)

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C) to prepare for melting the candy melts.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the butter snap pretzels in even rows on the sheet to keep them organized for candy melting.
  3. Plan Your Flowers: Sort the Valentine’s Blend M&M’s by color and arrange mock-ups of your desired flower designs to use as guides during assembly.
  4. Place Candy Melts: Place one white candy melt on each pretzel snap, positioning them centrally to form the flower base.
  5. Bake: Bake the pretzels topped with candy melts in the preheated oven for about 3 minutes or until the candy melts soften and just begin to melt.
  6. Create Flower Shapes: Quickly remove the baking sheet from the oven. Working swiftly, press the M&M’s into the softened candy melts starting from the center outward to form flower petals and centers. The candy will begin to harden, so efficiency is key.
  7. Set: Place the assembled pretzel bites in the refrigerator or freezer for 5 minutes to allow the candy melts to fully set and harden, securing the M&M’s in place.
  8. Serve: Remove from the fridge or freezer and serve these adorable Valentine’s Day M&M pretzel flower bites fresh and enjoy their sweet-salty goodness.

Notes

  • You can customize the flower designs using different M&M color combinations to suit your taste or theme.
  • Make sure to work quickly when pressing M&Ms into the candy melts as they harden fast.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness and freshness.
  • Using parchment paper on the baking sheet helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easy.
