      I do the same thing but I use the chocolate candy melts found in the candy making/craft section of most stores. I like to use the dark chocolate kind, plus it's a little less chocolate on each pretzel AND you don't have to unwrap all those Hershey Kisses!

      These were so easy to make, the hardest part was unwrapping all of those hershey kisses. I made these for my Christmas eve table. Everyone loved them. DH's friends came over for a poker game a couple of days later and finished off what I had left so that leads me to believe they thought they were pretty good also. Thanks for posting!

      These look really cute on a candy or cookie tray. My kids really liked them.

      I made a smaller batch of these with windowpane pretzels. I used regular Hershey's Kisses and the kind with caramel in them. Only the caramel ones turned out. I couldn't get the regular chocolate to melt enough to put the M&M's on. However, the caramel kiss ones are delicious! I will definitely make them again with the caramel Kisses. Thanks for posting.

      So easy and so so good. My only problem was the unsteady hand from all the coffee I had early made it kind of difficult to get the M&M's in the center. LOL :) Made w/ caramel kisses YUMMY

      This recipe is perfect to make with little ones and it is so easy. No measuring, no mixing. All four of our children ages 13, 11, 8 and 7 all loved helping. We did have to bake the hugs we used with the pretzels a bit longer, more like 8 minutes. We also used chocolate caramel kisses and they made the pretzels taste like turtles! Yummy! We will make these again and they will likely become a family tradition.

    This came from Family Fun magazine, it's SUPER easy, next to NO MESS. Great activity to do with kids. Excellent alternative to messing around with melting chocolate and dipping pretzels.
