Pretzel Buttons

I write this post as Cece totally called me out on my Facebook wall. I hope this makes you happy Cece, I now expect a post following this one titled, "Oreo Truffles"...

I don't know if these things have an official name, I just started calling them "pretzel buttons" as it seemed like a good fit. I googled this name and I guess other people are calling them that too.

Pretzel Buttons

-Pretzel rings
-Hershey's kisses
-M&M's

Heat oven to 200 degrees. Lay pretzel rings in a single layer on a parchment lined, rimmed pan. Place a Hershey's kiss in each ring. Heat in oven for approximately 5-10 minutes, until chocolate is soft. Place M&M on top of each kiss, wiggling it to make sure the kiss fills the entire pretzel ring. Refrigerate until chocolate has hardened.

Variations:
-Hershey's hugs look neat, but any kind will work
-Miniature Reese's cups and peanut M&Ms
-Caramel (or a Rolo) and a pecan
-If you can't find pretzel rings, other types of pretzels can also work

Feel free to use the comments to list your tasty combinations!

Your Valentine-themed pretzel buttons are positively adorable! Thank you for distracting me during my mind-numbing "Practice & Professionalism" class with tasty treats.

I should note that I didn't actually make them, I stole the picture off google. My mom just sent me a bunch however so I have to eat my way through them first.

For Christmas, I did dark chocolate kisses with mint M&Ms. My fellow mathies loved them!
