Pretzel Delights

These little yummy treats are mine and my families new favorite dessert. If you love something salty and sweet, than these treats are for you. They are the perfect combination of salt and sweet. They fulfil two cravings all at one time. Happiness in your mouth! They are also relatively simply and quick to put together. My oldest daughter actually chose to have me make these for her school birthday instead of the traditional cupcakes or cookies and they were a big hit with all the kids.


Pretzel Delights:

 - 1 bag mini pretzels

 - 1 bag m&m's (or a few bags with the colors you want picked out -    for these I used Easter m&m's and picked out the pink and purple)

 - 1 bag candy melts (any color you want - I used white for these)

 - a pipping bag with size 5 round tip

 - wax paper and paper towels

 - bags and ribbon for decoration (optional)

1.) First place approx two to two and a half feet of paper towels down on your work surface and then cover the paper towels with wax paper. Then you will take a bunch of your mini pretzels and lay them out flat on the was paper.

2.) Next place the candy melts in a double boiler (or you can follow microwave directions on the bag) and heat them until they are completely melted.

3.) Then you will take your pipping bag and place it in a tall glass folding the bag over the edge of the glass. This makes for easier filling of the pipping bag if you don't have an assistant. Then fill the pipping bag approx two-thirds full. BE CAREFUL with this next step the bag will be hot. grab a towel if that helps. Take your pipping bag out of your glass and fill the holes on the pretzels.

4.) Gently press m&m's into the places where the three holes in the pretzels used to be. If you have a helper one person can fill the holes with the pipping bag while the other one puts the m&m's in place, but if you are doing it on your own you will have to do it 5-10 pretzels at a time.

5.) Let them dry approximately an hour or until they are hard. You can then place them in decorative bags as I did for my daughters birthday or just store in a zip lock bag.
