Making Easter Bunny Kisses


This year for Easter, I found a recipe (and tweaked it for my own liking).  I gave the instructions to my tween daughter, and she proudly made them by herself.  Super easy, and a quick dessert/snack idea!

You will need:
1 bag of square shaped pretzels
1 bag of M&M's
1 package of Hershey's chocolate candy (since it's Easter time, Hershey's is making egg shaped chocolates)



Steps to follow:
1.  Preheat the oven to 250*.  Line a pan with the pretzels laid out in a single layer.


2.  Unwrap all the Hershey's chocolate candies.  Place one chocolate carefully onto each pretzel.  (And of course, enjoy eating a few chocolates too.)




3.  Heat the pretzels and chocolates in oven for about 8 minutes.  You don't want them to completely melt, but you do want them soft enough to hold onto the candy you'll put on top.


4.  Press one M&M gently on each little chocolate square.  My daughter picked only the M&M's that had the cute little Easter prints on them.




5.  Either let them sit out a few hours to cool, or to speed the process up a bit, they can be refrigerated for an hour.  



Our family really enjoyed these little pop-able desserts.  We ate most of them while coloring eggs.  Happy Easter to you and yours!
