Ingredients
48 waffle-style pretzels (fully intact)
1 cup white candy melts
2 cups M&M candies, sorted by color
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225°F (107°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the waffle pretzels on the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Place one candy melt in the center of each pretzel.
- Bake for 3 minutes, until the candy melts are softened but not fully melted.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press one M&M into the center of each softened candy melt.
- Arrange six additional M&M’s around the center candy to form flower petals, gently pressing them into the softened chocolate.
- Allow the pretzel flowers to set for about 10 minutes, or until the candy is firm.
- Serve once fully set.
Notes
Use different colored candy melts to match holidays or party themes.
Milk or dark candy melts can be substituted for white for a richer flavor.
Other small round candies can replace M&M’s for variety.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Avoid reheating, as the candy may melt unevenly.
Do not freeze, as condensation may affect the candy coating.
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
