I believe baking should be a source of joy during the holiday season, not a cause of stress because of complex recipes.
Brace yourself because these adorable Pretzel Buttons only requires 3 ingredients! All of which you might have in your pantry already: Waffle-shaped pretzels, Holiday M&M’s, and Hershey’s Hugs.
Pretzel Buttons
Simply preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
While the oven is preheating, prep your ingredients. Line a cookie sheet with rows of waffle-shaped pretzels. Top each pretzel with an unwrapped Hugs candy.
Once you put the cookie sheet in the oven for about 4-5 minutes, grab some helpers and have them ready with a handful of holiday M&Ms. Once the tips of the Hugs candies have softened and they start to glisten from the heat, pull the tray out. Working quickly and gently, press a M&M onto each melded Hug. If the candies are not soft enough, pop them back into the oven for a minute and then try one more time.
It may take a few tries depending on your oven temperature, but once you get into the groove, making these is a breeze. Let the candies cool, then store in a festive tin or even in the refrigerator. They are so easy to pop out for holiday gatherings or to nibble on after dinner. They are quite addicting though, beware!
Love food. Love self. Love life.
I agree with you 100% cooking should be enjoying, thats why it is my stress relief after a hard days work. BTW that pretzel looks fabulous

That is exactly what happens with my family, which is why I love this recipe because you can make a zillion of these at once and then stock up for the whole holiday season! Haha.
I have made these with Rolos but these look so pretty! I will have to try it. Yum!
Ooooh Rolos would be great! I bet the little surprise of caramel in the middle is delicious. Thanks for the idea!
My aunt makes these every Christmas and I just love them. You can never go wrong with pretzels and chocolate.
This is totally awesome! I made fudge last year and gave it in pretty boxes for presents because I have such a huge family. I was wondering what to do this year and this is it! THANKS!!
You are so welcome! I love putting these in little cellophane bags and tying with a holiday ribbon–such a cute and simple gift. You could even tie a little note, gift tag, jingle bell, or mini Christmas ornament in with the bow! Post pictures on the Facebook page please, I would love to see what you decide to do!
these look great and so easy!
