Sweet and Salty Holiday Chocolate Pretzel Bites

The holiday season is always filled with so many things you have to do and making our Chocolate Pretzel Bites is just one of them. From decorating your house to running to different stores to making amazing feasts. You start to lose track of your days and the things that matter most in life. The most important thing you can do during the holidays is slow down and enjoy the little things. That’s why we love making sweet desserts and treats like these great pretzel bites!

I know I can make these amazing and very intricate sugar cookies but they are very time-consuming and my daughter cannot help me make them. So I have learned that it doesn’t matter about those silly details. I now try to find fun recipes that my daughter is able to help me with since that brings so much joy to her.

These Holiday Pretzel Bites are so simple you will not even need a measuring cup! They taste just like your classic chocolate covered pretzels but you do not have to worry about tempering your chocolate or making a huge mess. I know that even after the holidays I will be making these as a special treat.

We love making this recipe for great chocolate pretzel bites year round. They are ideal for holiday candy gifting, but work great for any holiday. Just switch up the colors of M&M’s you use to make them the right color. Put them in little cellophane bags or baskets and top with a bow!

Tips for making this recipe

Work in small batches. You are best making one batch at a time and then making another batch so the kisses do not harden before you get all the M&Ms on them.

Add M&Ms as soon as the kisses are melted. As soon as you remove the pretzel bites from the oven put the M&Ms on so the kisses do not start to harden and the M&Ms stay on them.
