Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 24 circle or square-shaped pretzels
- 24 Hershey’s Kisses Hugs (or any flavor Kiss)
- 24 candy corn candies
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C) to prepare for melting the chocolates.
- Arrange Pretzels and Chocolates: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Place the pretzels in a single layer on the sheet. Unwrap the Hershey’s Hugs and place one on each pretzel.
- Melt the Chocolates: Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 4 minutes, or until the Hershey’s Hugs begin to melt and soften but have not fully melted down.
- Prepare Candy Corn: While the chocolates are melting, get the candy corn candies ready so you can quickly press them onto the melted chocolates once removed from the oven.
- Press Candy Corn onto Melting Chocolate: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Gently press one candy corn down onto each softened Hershey’s Hug. The chocolate should flatten and adhere around the candy corn. If the chocolate does not flatten easily, return the tray to the oven for an additional 30 seconds to soften further.
- Cool and Set: Allow the pretzel hugs to cool completely on the baking sheet, then place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to let the chocolate fully set and harden.
Notes
- Use a low oven temperature (250°F) to gently soften the chocolate without melting it completely.
- Work quickly when pressing candy corn onto the chocolates before they harden.
- You can use any flavor of Hershey’s Kisses if desired for a variation in flavor.
- Ensure pretzels are arranged in a single layer without overlapping for even melting.
- Store finished pretzel hugs in an airtight container in a cool place to keep them crisp.
