How to Make Chocolate Kisses With Round Pretzels

Turn plain pretzels into chocolate-topped treats.

In today's busy world, many of us do not have time to make baked goods from scratch. Instead, modify store-bought goods to add a homemade touch. The sharp contrast of salty pretzels and sweet chocolate is a surprisingly delectable treat. They also take only a few minutes to prepare. You may vary the type of chocolate Kiss you use, or try a combination of several of them on the same batch of pretzels. Try white, milk or dark chocolate, or chocolate with caramel.

Things You'll Need

• Cookie sheet
• Parchment paper
• Pretzels
• Chocolate kisses
• Candy
• Plate
• Plastic bags
• Ribbons

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

3. Arrange your desired number of round pretzels on the cookie sheet in a single layer.

4. Unwrap the chocolate Kisses. Use the same number of chocolate Kisses as pretzels.

5. Place a chocolate Kiss in the middle of each pretzel.

6. Place the cookie sheet in the oven. Allow the treats to bake for about four to six minutes, or until the chocolate Kisses just turn soft. They should not melt.

7. Press a candy on top of each chocolate Kiss as soon as you take them out of the oven. Experiment with different types of candy, such as coated chocolate candies.

8. Wait for the snacks to cool for about five minutes. Transfer them to a plate and place the plate in the refrigerator.
