Cute As A Button

Sorry for the lack of attention that I have been paying to the blog. New puppy and midterms coming up has consumed my life, but I am currently taking a mental health break before my next class and posting the recipes that I should have posted a loooong time ago.

This is an absolutely delicious and ridiculously easy snack that I literally make for every single holiday. You can adjust whatever you need to a million different ways and make it appropriate for any and every occasion. I love these little pretzel buttons, and they're adorable.

Ingredients:

• Mini pretzels
• Hershey's Hugs (You can use Kisses, but I prefer hugs and I also use Candy Cane Hugs during Christmas)
• M&M's (Since these were for Valentine's Day, I used Cherry M&M's, but I use candy corn and any holiday themed candy depending on the time of year)

This is the before process...

... and this is the after.

Looks simple enough, right?

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 275F degrees.
2. Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil and make rows of pretzels. You don't have to place them any certain space apart.
3. Unwrap Hugs (or Kisses, whatever) and place one on top of each pretzel.
4. Place in oven for 2-4 minutes.
5. Place one (or two, if you're feeling frisky) M&M on top of each melted chocolate. This is where you gotta work kinda quick.
6. Place in freezer for 20 minutes to allow chocolate to reset.

Delicious. Simple. Adorable. And can be used for any season or time of year.
