Benefits of these Halloween-y pretzel-y chocolate bites: EASY, fast, totally kid-friendly, uses up leftover candy, perfect to make ahead and bring to a Halloween party, infinitely adaptable to other occasions and holidays.
Draw-backs: nada.
I didn’t initially think this would become a post since I figured these were self-explanatory, but you know what, they’re kind of not. I didn’t know how long it takes for Hershey’s Kisses to melt in an oven, so other people might not, either. Thus, we got ourselves a recipe. Yippie ki-yay.
I made a ton of these for a Halloween party and they only took maybe 20 minutes total. Then you chill them in the fridge for a bit which adds a teeny amount of time. Otherwise it’s SO easy.
Feel free to swap out the candy corn for red and green M&Ms and you’ve got yourself a holiday treat instead. And frankly, the M&Ms are a little easier to place and make look pretty anyway, so you could swap it for Halloween, too. Go nuts, kids.
