Description

This simple holiday treat is one of my favorites! The best part is that my kids can make these all by themselves.

Ingredients

  • 70 pieces Hershey's Kisses
  • 70 pieces M&Ms
  • 70 pieces Pretzel Rings

Preparation

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Spread pretzel rings out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Place one Kiss inside each ring. Bake for 5 minutes. (The kisses will not lose their shape, so do not wait for them to melt or you will burn the chocolate!) Remove from the oven and immediately press one m&m on top of each kiss. Allow to cool completely so that the kisses can harden back up.

Instead of an M&M I use a reeses Pieces. Then you have pretzel, Chocolate & peanut butter. YUM!

These are great! I made these for Christmas the last few years. Like bjdfh said, Rollo’s are great in these, too! I topped a few of them with a cashew or pecan so it was like a “turtle.” Great recipe!

These are one of my favorites….my neighbor introduced me to them last year. She gave us some as gifts- with the White/Milk Chocolate kisses (not sure which they are- they are striped), and the M&M on the Square pretzels.

Yum!

We call these Bird’s Nests and they are a big hit with my family! The one store that carried the rings stopped several years ago supposedly because they pose a choking hazard. I have been ordering rings from Harvest Road/Snack-o-Rama since then. They used to carry pound bags but now only sell by the case. I buy the case and divvy up among friends who make Bird’s Nests, too. Hope this helps! BTW, the ‘waffle’ shape works-not quite as cute but still yummy:-)

Just made them and they’re so good! I couldn’t find the pretzel rings but Utz makes round pretzels called “wagon wheels” that have spokes inside. I used them and they worked just fine. It took quite a while to unwrap everything and assemble but the end result is very yummy! I may do this with my nieces and nephews next time as it’s easy and creates minimal mess!

Just made these on Sunday. I couldn’t find pretzel rings so I used the little square grids instead. I had to bake mine for 8 minutes to get the kiss warm enough to press down the m&m, but I think my oven temp is off. Very time consuming, but soooo yummy and totally worth it!
