How to make Spring Flower Pretzel Bites
First, please disregard my super short nails. 😉 In all seriousness, first separate M&M’s by color to plan your flower designs. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange pretzels in a single layer. Place a candy melt on each pretzel. Bake at 225∘F for approximately 3 minutes, until the candy softens. Immediately press M&M’s into flower shapes on the melted candy, starting from the center. It’s seriously THAT easy!
How to Store Flower Pretzel Bites
Store decorated mini pretzel flowers in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or freeze in a freezer-safe bag for longer storage. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
