Mormon Momma

I avoid cooking whenever possible, but this year I made a Christmas neighbor gift that was a hit. So many people commented and I’ve been asked for my recipe. To top it off I’ve been asked to demonstrate the apparently delectable treat at homemaking…HFPE…Enrichment…a Relief Society meeting next week.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought I’d share the love with you. It’s not my own creation, but it’s really yummy.

Chocolate Pretzel Yums

Ingredients:

24 circular pretzels
24 milk chocolate candy kisses
1 (1.69 ounce) package mini candy-coated chocolates
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place pretzels on baking sheets. Unwrap candy kisses and place one in the center of each pretzel.
3. Place in preheated oven 1 to 2 minutes, until kisses melt. Remove from oven and place one candy-coated chocolate in the center of each pretzel. Chill in refrigerator until set.

Notes:

• Watch the heating carefully. The kisses will just get shiny, but not lose shape when they are done. Time will vary depending on oven and type of chocolate used, so do not mix chocolate within a single batch!
• The small round or square waffle pretzels work best, but small twist pretzels work as well.
• You can substitute hugs or caramel-filled chocolate or even chocolate disks (dark/light/white) for the regular kisses.
• Use candy-coated chocolates in colors that match the holiday or theme.
• You can also substitute a walnut or other nut half (regular or toasted) for the candy-coated chocolate.
