Listen, I know, I KNOW I’m going to be eaten alive for this but it’s the truth and I cannot lie… I ate cake mix powder as a kid. And it was wonderful. Yes, I’m talking the actual powder. I’d dump it into the bowl and if there was a clump I’d carefully, oh so delicately lift it up and eat it! It was so good! lol! How could I not make something cake mix flavor as an adult? So, a sweet Chex mix was the best perfect way to combine two favs!

Easter Hershey Kiss Pretzels

These Hershey Kiss Pretzels may look innocent enough, but don’t let that fool you. Sweet, salty, crunchy, and perfectly melty, they’re wildly addictive in the best and worst way. You’ll grab one, promise it’s the last, then find yourself reaching back for more. You’ll love me and curse me at the same time.

Easter Hershey Kiss Pretzels are one of the easiest treats to make! They’re just pretzels, Hershey’s Hugs, and an M&M on top. I remember our two-year-old helping me make them even! He was having a grouchy day, so I plopped him on the counter and thought, chocolate will fix this…. and it did. He unwrapped each Hug and carefully placed them on the pretzels, only sampling a few along the way.

They are a perfect way to get the kids involved in the kitchen!

Ingredients For Easter Hershey Kiss Pretzels

These Hershey Kiss Pretzels are tiny and unassuming. They look like a harmless little treat, but don’t let that fool you. One is never enough. Here’s what you need to make this yummy treat:

  • Mini Pretzels: Crunchy, salty base that pairs perfectly with sweet chocolate for the ultimate bite-sized treat.
  • Hershey’s Hugs: Softens when warmed to create a creamy chocolate layer that melts over the pretzel.
  • Easter M&Ms: Colorful, festive topping that adds a pop of sweetness and a fun crunch.

The last time I made these, my kids kept sneaking back to the Ziplock bag, convinced I wouldn’t notice “just one more.” Spoiler alert: I noticed. Mostly because I was doing the exact same thing right alongside them and they disappeared way sooner than they should have.

Bringing Snack Friday Back

Every Friday we USED TO do “Snack Friday.” We USED TO be fun. We USED TO have the kids bring all of their friends over after school to devour the delicious treats and snacks.

And then they started to grow up more…and we got busy…and I got distracted…and life got really, really, hard as we faced some really, really serious things…and then this year happened. And I realized that at no point did Friday ever say we couldn’t be happy in the mud.

So, we are bringing back snack Friday and the kids and the food and all of you. The easiest way to merge back into the fun house? Peanut Butter Oat Cups are totally no bake and best of all, we make them with whatever we’ve got.

Sometimes it’s in muffin tins or rolled into balls. Sometimes I use dark chocolate and sea salt and other times white chocolate with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. Either way, it’s about gathering people in and this snack is perfect for a quick treat.
