Candy Corn Pretzel Hugs
Make these sweet and salty treats for your next fall event! They are the perfect tiny bites for your friends and family to enjoy.
Ingredients
- Candy Corn
- Pretzel Squares
- Hershey's Hugs Chocolates (or substitute with regular Hershey's Kisses)
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Unwrap Hug chocolates and place on top of pretzels.
3
There are about 80 Hugs in a 12 ounce bag so I used 80 candy corn pieces and 80 pretzels.
4
Bake at 300 degrees for about 4-5 minutes until the chocolate becomes soft. Remove from oven and quickly place candy corn on top of the chocolates.
5
Press down carefully. Serve when cool and the chocolate is firm.
6
Consider putting the tray in the fridge to speed up the cooling process.
I love the crunchy texture with the soft candy!
I am actually not a huge candy corn fan but I really love that the saltiness of the pretzels balances out the sweetness of the chocolate and candy corns. And be warned – these are super addicting!
I’ve been making a variation of this at Christmas-time for years. I use regular Hershey’s kisses with red & green M&M’s. I’ve also done the Rolo/pecan version…everyone loves them, and they are SOOOOOOOOO easy!!
Oh I love that idea- I’m gonna try it for Christmas. Thanks Faith!
If I can’t find the unwrapped Hershey’s Kisses (which take forever to unwrap), I just use the Hershey’s drops instead. Easy-peasy.
I’ve also learned (the hard way) that if you leave them in the oven just a little too long, the chocolate hardens up and makes pressing the candies into it very difficult.
The halloween m&ms would be so cute on top of these.
I have three words for you all… Holiday. Mint. M&Ms. =) So good as the topper to the pretzel & hug.
Oh yum! Great idea ❤️
What kind of mint?
My family has 2 members allergic to chocolate, so I plan to substitute a big marshmallow. I think it would work well.
My kiddos love helping make these! Super simple, and you can make them for every season! We love the seasonal M&Ms on top of these! Very easy and very addicting to eat!
Thanks for sharing, BRave!
how far in advance can you make these pretzel treats?
I haven’t made these in a bit but I bet a day or two ahead would be great! Thanks for the question!
