Little Pretzel Candies

Long time, no write, but we moved in my defense! 

Anywho, I made candy for the staff at work last weekend. It's a very easy recipe I got from my friend, Deb, a couple years ago and make on occasion. 

What you need:



Small pretzels (I use the square ones because they hold the chocolates better)
Small chocolates (Rolos and Kisses are probably the most popular choices)
Small candies or nuts (not pictured...I used candy corn and peanut butter M&Ms this time, but have used macadamias and pecans in the past)

The first step is the hardest. If you can get past the monotony of unwrapping, you're in the clear.


I made 200 of these suckers, so there was about 4 piles of trash like this.




Place your chocolates on top of your pretzels on a baking sheet. Bake at 300F for no longer than 3 minutes.




 After taking them out of the oven, squish your smaller piece of candy or nut on top of the chocolate to make sure it sticks to the pretzel. Voila, you're done! Easy peasy. And very tasty.
