I saw this on Trisha's Southern cooking, they are decadent. Almost like eating a candy bar. I am going to try to freeze some and see how they turn out, and did I say they are quick and easy. Couldn't believe how easy they were to make.

CHOCOLATE PRETZEL SQUARES

One of those "Why didn't I think of that?" easy-to-make treats to send in to school or bring to the office. Inexpensive, too! Who doesn't like the taste of salt & chocolate together? The prep time includes the microwave time. Honestly, it takes the longest time just to unwrap the Hershey's Kisses. =^..^=

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bag of thin pretzel squares
some hershey's kisses, unwrapped, one per pretzel square
some plain m & m's, one per pretzel square (you can color-coordinate for the holidays)
ANOTHER GREAT IDEA:
some hershey's hugs white chocolate kisses, unwrapped (instead of the hershey's kisses)

Steps:

  • 1. Place pretzels on a microwavable plate. Place an unwrapped Hershey's kiss on each pretzel square.
  • 2. Microwave for just enough seconds** (see below) to start to melt the chocolate enough that an M & M can be pressed into the top of the Hershey's kiss.
  • 3. **(My microwave takes 47 seconds, then I let them stay on the warm plate for another 30 seconds or so before pressing in the M & M. If the M & M doesn't go down easily, leave it & work on another before coming back to the stubborn M & M.)
  • 4. Only do a few at a time so that the chocolate doesn't have time to harden again.
  • 5. Cool on a cooling rack (or 10 minutes in the freezer) & store in an air-tight container until ready to serve.
  • 6. ANOTHER GREAT IDEA: Use Hershey's Hugs in place of the Hershey's Kisses. The stripes look very festive!

CHOCOLATE PRETZEL SQUARES

I got this idea from Taste of Home. I kicked it up a notch and they really taste good. Also, they are so pretty and festive.

Number Of Ingredients 3

small square pretzels
dark chocolate hershey kisses
peanut butter m&ms

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 275°. Using a greased cookie sheet, place a Hershey Kiss on each pretzel square. Place cookie sheet in the oven for about 2 minutes. All you want to do is soften the kiss. As soon as you take them out of the oven, press an M&M in the center of each kiss. Put them in the fridge or freezer to harden and then store them at room temp in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate chips. The quality of the chocolate chips will greatly impact the flavor of your squares.
  • Use fresh pretzels. Stale pretzels will make your squares tough and chewy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the squares tough.
  • Bake the squares until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the squares cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chocolate pretzel squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover pretzels and chocolate chips, and they can be customized to your liking. With their sweet and salty flavor, chocolate pretzel squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
