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.

The BEST Christmas Cookies for Families – M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies

Few things say Christmas better than green and red M&Ms! Throw some into these perfectly chewy M&M chocolate chip cookies, and you have festive Christmas cookies that everyone loves!

Every Christmas our kids gather around with Cade and I and we make the most hideously decorated sugar cookies (link to cookies and royal icing) but even when I think they won’t care anymore, they absolutely go nuts if they don’t see me pulling out all the supplies for Christmas cookies.

However, as much as we love those sink-your-teeth-in sugar cookies, like seriously they are the perfect sugar cookie, just ask our readers, everyone needs a quick and easy Christmas cookie for the family party that won’t suck hours of your time. 

And this is it. 

In fact, we haunt the stores every holiday for different colored m&m’s and make them all year round. Hello, Easter Cookies… haha! We can’t stop! Yes, it’s the same recipe, but just trust me, you needed to be reminded that you can, and SHOULD make a Christmas version.

Ingredients for Christmas M&M Cookies

There won’t be any surprises here! You’ll need all the usual chocolate chip cookie ingredients plus some Christmas m&m’s. Here is a brief overview of what you will need:

• Unsalted Butter – using unsalted allows you to control the saltiness of the recipe and make sure it is softened
• Brown Sugar – you want fresh moist brown sugar for optimal texture
• White Sugar – just regular granulated white sugar
• Egg – gives structure to the cookies and helps hold everything together
• Vanilla Extract – adds to the flavor, and use the real stuff…no imitation vanilla
• Flour – make sure to measure the flour correctly so they come out chewy and soft and not dry
• Baking Soda – gives the cookies their rise and fluffiness
• Cornstarch – acts as a tenderizer that helps make the cookies stay thick but soft and chewy
• Salt – balances all the sweetness and enhances flavor
• Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips – use regular size or minis and you can use milk chocolate, dark, white…whatever your favorite is!
• Christmas M&M’s – regular or any holiday M&M’s can be used

The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post. You can also save or print the recipe from there.
