Ingredients
Ingredients
- Butter Snap Pretzels – 36 pieces
- White Candy Melts – 36 pieces
- Pastel M&M’s – 252 pieces (36 center pieces + 216 petal pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). If using a microwave, proceed to the alternative warming instructions.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking liner to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange Pretzels: Place the butter snap pretzels in neat rows on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space for the candy melts and M&M’s.
- Add Candy Melts: Place one white candy melt on top of each butter snap pretzel carefully.
- Warm Candy Melts: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and warm for 2-3 minutes. The goal is to soften the candy melts, not fully melt them. Alternatively, you can soften the candy melts by warming them in a microwave on a paper plate for about 55 seconds, adjusting the time as needed depending on your microwave’s power.
- Assemble Flowers: Quickly place one M&M candy in the center of each softened candy melt and surround it with six M&M candies as petals. Press them gently down to secure them in the softened candy. For aesthetic purposes, place the central M&M with its “M” facing down to keep flowers looking neat.
- Cool and Set: Allow the pretzel bites to cool and the candy melts to harden. To speed up this process, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- Store: Once set, transfer the Flower Pretzel Bites to an airtight container to keep them fresh and enjoy!
Notes
- Do not overheat candy melts as you only want to soften them for setting the M&M’s candies.
- Use parchment paper or silicone liners to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Experiment with microwave warming times, as microwave power varies.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These make excellent party favors or festive snacks for occasions like Easter or spring celebrations.
