  • 10 oz Valentine's Blend M&M's

  • Plan Your Flowers: Divide the M&M's by color. Create mock-ups of your desired flower designs to use as visual guides.
  • Place a candy melt on each pretzel snap.

  • Bake in the oven for 3 minutes, or until the candy melts soften and begin to melt.
  • Create Flower Shapes: Remove the pretzels from the oven. Working quickly, press the M&M's into the softened candy melts, starting from the center and arranging them to create flower 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 Valentine's Day M&M pretzel flowers.

Notes

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