Valentine's Day Recipe

We're getting ready for Valentine's Day in my home.  My parents always greeted my brother and I with a great big bag of candy Valentine's Day morning.  What fun!  I've been stocking up on chocolates and small gifts for the kids. 

My kids and I decided to make a small Valentine's Day treat.  I thought about a super easy treat that my cousin Lisa had taught the kids a few months back that you make with pretzels, Hershey's Kisses and M&Ms.  Here's how we made our chocolate treats.

Step 1. We first preheated the oven to 185 degrees. 

Step 2: We took out our 3 ingredients: Hershey's Kisses,  square pretzels and red, white and pink M&Ms. 

Step 3: We arranged the pretzels on a baking dish and added an (unwrapped!) Hershey's kiss on top of each pretzel.

Step 4: The pretzels and chocolate go into the oven for about 6 minutes or until the chocolate is soft.

Step 5: Take the pretzels out of the oven and gently put a M&M on top of each Kiss and push it down a touch.  Let them cool off until the kisses are hard and then enjoy!


Because each season M&Ms are available in seasonal colors, these make a fun, colorful and delicious holiday treat. Our family ate about 200 in Fall colors over Thanksgiving weekend!
