Ingredients

  • Pretzel Snaps (such as Snyder’s brand)
  • White Candy Melts
  • Spring Colored M&Ms
  • Fine Tip Food Marker (optional, for drawing faces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the M&Ms:
    Cut some of the M&Ms in half. You’ll need 1 whole M&M and 2 halves for each pretzel treat. Sort them by color to make the process easier.
  2. Set Up the Pretzels:
    Lay out the pretzel snaps on a microwave-safe plate (a paper plate works great). Place one white candy melt on top of each pretzel.
  3. Melt the Candy:
    Microwave the plate at 50% power for 30 seconds at a time until the candy melts are soft and slightly melted. Be careful not to overheat them.
  4. Assemble the Bunnies:
    Working quickly, place a whole M&M in the center of each candy melt to create the bunny’s face. Add two M&M halves above the face to make the ears. Gently press the M&Ms into the melted candy to secure them.
  5. Let Them Set:
    Allow the candy melts to harden completely. This should take about 15 minutes.
  6. Add Faces (Optional):
    Once the candy has set, use a fine-tip food marker to draw cute bunny faces on the M&Ms. Let the ink dry for a couple of minutes before handling.

Notes

  • Work in small batches (25 or fewer) to ensure the candy melts don’t harden before you’ve added the M&Ms.
  • If the candy melts harden too quickly, simply microwave the pretzels again at 50% power for 30 seconds to soften them.
  • Get creative with the M&M colors to make each bunny unique!
