These Hugs Pretzel Bites are not only super cute and easy to make, but they have the perfect balance of sweet and salty– yum! Beware, these are highly addictive.

The holidays wouldn’t be the same without Hugs Pretzel Bites! They are such a fun little dessert.

If you haven’t these them yet, you must! It literally takes 4 minutes -plus the extra time to unwrap all of those Hugs– but you can do that while you’re watching a show and so that doesn’t count, does it? 

Variations

There are several variations for this dessert. The Hugs pretzels are my personal favorite, but you can also use milk chocolate candy kisses or Rolos on pretzels topped with m&ms in various colors- to match whatever the occasion might be.

Using pecans instead of m&ms is another great option!

How to Make Hugs Pretzel Bites

• First thing you need? Pretzels- I think that the little square ones work best because the Hugs fit so neatly in the middle.
• Next? Unwrap your Hugs!
• Then, have your M&Ms nearby and try not to eat them while you get things ready (: 
• Preheat the oven to 325. Line a cookie sheet with parchment. Place your unwrapped Hugs in the center of each pretzel and bake for no more than 4 minutes. At that point, the Hugs will be soft but not super melty or messy.

 

• Once you’ve removed the cookie sheet from the oven, place an M&M into each of the Hugs, slightly pressing down to finish the look.  

 

• Once the Hugs Pretzel Bites have cooled completely, they are safe to stack. I love the look of the colorful m&ms against the chocolate stripes. Such a fun little dessert!

We hope that you enjoy these Hugs Pretzel Bites! They make a great little party snack or a fun little gift for friends!
