Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat: Preheat the oven to 225°F.
  • Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread pretzel snaps in even rows on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Plan Your Bunies: Divide the M&M's by color.
  • Place a candy melt on each pretzel snap.
    A baking sheet lined with parchment paper holds an orderly grid of square pretzels, each topped with a caramel and a small round of white chocolate. A hand is placing the last chocolate round onto a pretzel at the bottom right corner.
  • Bake in the oven for 3 minutes, or until the candy melts soften and begin to melt.
  • Create Bunny Shapes: Remove the pretzels from the oven. Working quickly, press the M&M's into the softened candy melts, starting from the center and adding 2 M&M's on their side to create bunny shapes. The candy melts will begin to harden, so work efficiently.

  • Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator or freezer for 5 minutes to allow the candy melts to set completely.
  • Serve: Serve and enjoy your Easter Bunny Pretzel Bites

Notes

Before melting the candy melts, arrange your pastel M&M's in color coded piles. This will help you work quickly once the candy melts are warm and softened, as you'll have a limited time to press the M&M's into the melted chocolate before it hardens.
