Description

Delightful Flower Pretzel Bites combining crunchy snap pretzels with creamy white candy melts and colorful pastel M&Ms arranged as floral decorations. These bite-sized treats are perfect for parties, holidays, or any colorful snack cravings.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 2 oz snap pretzels (~30 pieces)
  • 6 oz white candy melts (~30 pieces)

Decorations

  • 2 (10-oz) bags pastel M&M’s (~240 pieces; use 3 bags for optimal color sorting)

Instructions

  1. Sort M&Ms: Begin by sorting your pastel M&Ms by color if you want your flowers to be color-coordinated. This preparation helps you work efficiently since the candy melts soften quickly.
  2. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  3. Make the Base: Arrange about 30 snap pretzels on the prepared baking sheet. Place one white candy melt on top of each pretzel. Bake in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, just until the candy melts soften but still hold their shape. Monitor closely to avoid over-melting.
  4. Decorate Quickly: Remove the baking sheet from the oven immediately. While the candy melts are still soft, press one M&M candy (flat side down) into the center of each softened candy melt. Surround this center candy with six more M&Ms arranged around it like flower petals, pressing gently to secure them in place.
  5. Cool & Set: Allow the pretzels to cool completely at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to speed up the setting process so the candy hardens and holds the flower shape.

Notes

  • Sorting M&Ms beforehand makes it easier to create color-coordinated flower bites.
  • Keep a close eye during baking to prevent candy melts from overheating and losing their shape.
  • Work swiftly when pressing the M&Ms onto the softened candy melts as they harden quickly.
  • Storing the finished pretzel bites in a cool, dry place will help maintain their crispness and candy coating.
