Why You’ll Love These Christmas Pretzel Hugs!
You know what I love about these Christmas Pretzel Hugs? They’re SO easy to make! I’ve been making them for years, and they always disappear fast at holiday gatherings. They’re just SO good!
You get crunchy, salty pretzels topped with soft, creamy chocolate and colorful M&M’s for a little extra sweetness and crunch. That sweet-and-salty combination is SO good, and you can use your favorite Hershey’s Kisses flavors or mix and match a few!
I’ve loved using Hershey’s Kisses in my easy Christmas desserts for as long as I can remember. I love that you can switch up the flavors to give these pretzel hugs a little something different every time!
If you’re making a Christmas treat tray, pair these with my Christmas Crack for another chocolatey, crunchy treat!
