Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup white candy melts
- 2 cups pretzels (small twists or squares work best)
- 4 oz M&Ms (pastel or spring colors)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Place one white candy melt in the center of each pretzel.
- Bake for 4-6 minutes, or until the candy melts have softened.
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately place one M&M in the center of each melted candy. Arrange 6 additional M&Ms around the center to create a flower shape.
- Allow the bites to cool for at least 10 minutes, or until the candy has fully hardened.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use pastel-colored M&Ms for a festive spring or Easter look.
- Make sure the pretzels are spaced about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet to prevent them from sticking together.
- If the candy melts don’t fully melt in the oven, you can gently press the M&Ms into the center to help them adhere.
- Let the bites cool completely before serving or storing to ensure the candy hardens properly.
