Last night I decided to try and make this yummy treat I saw at a holiday party a couple of months ago. Let me tell you, these little candies are the YUMMIEST, most HEAVENLY things ever. They are (dare I say it?) the PERFECT mix of salty and sweet. And they take all of 10 minutes to make! Even better!
What You Will Need:
* 1 bag of Hershey’s Hugs (just chocolate – none of that almond or caramel stuff) Note: There are about 90 Hugs in a bag, so if you want to make more than 90, buy TWO bags!
* 1 bag of M&Ms (again, just chocolate filled. No crunchy or peanut or anything else).
* 1 bag of Pretzel Snaps (you know the small squarish, window-looking pretzels)
What To Do:
Pre heat your oven to 250 degrees.
Then cover a cookie sheet with tinfoil.
Lay out the pretzels in neat rows (I think I fit about 60 on one cookie sheet, and another 30 on a second).
In the center of each pretzel, place one Hershey’s Hug.
Put the cookie sheet exactly as is in the oven. Leave in for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate is warm and melty (it should still be in the Hug shape so you may have to lightly touch to see if it is melted through).
Once the chocolate is all melty, carefully take cookie sheets out of the oven and place on a (heat protected) level surface.
Now place a M&M in the center of each Hug. You will probably want to LIGHTLY push down on the M&M so that when the chocolate hardens, the M&M looks a little sunk in.
Once each Hug is topped by a M&M, leave to cool (I left mine over night).
When all done, you should have a whole plate full of these beauties:
YUM. Enjoy! I know I’ve enjoyed about 15 of ‘em and it’s now only 10:00 a.m. …

I am totally making these for my daughter’s Valentine’s Day party at school Monday. They look so cool (and easy too)!

those look friggin amazing.
Hi Jenny, thanks for coming by and telling me about these treats. They sound and look delicious! I’m definitely going to make some! :)
mmmm…they would look even more delicious if I liked “hugs”. I think I’ll try it with kisses…I can’t wait.
I really like your site by the way. I am glad there is no Paper store near my place…
my mom has made those every year for christmas (w/just kisses not hugs) for as long as i can remember & you’re right–they are TOO yummy. if i made those i’d eat all 90 the first day i know.
Thanks for the great valentine’s idea… my 2 year old will love these! (Great site by the way.)
thanks again for this recipe! i made about 400 of them with the valentines M&Ms this weekend and gave them out as V-day gifts to Adam’s parents and brother…and then i brought a whole batch into my office today and everyone is in love with them! thanks!
So glad you enjoyed them — I told you they were easy. I mean if me and you can make them …..!
I made these for my daughter’s Valentine party at school, and they were a hit! They were one of the few treats that didn’t have leftovers :-) Love your site by the way.
Thanks Maria! Glad you (and sarah! and your daughters class!) loved the treats!!
