For the Harvest Flower Pretzel Bites, we used the special Harvest Blend bag of M&M’s and some Orange M&M’s from a regular bag. The Harvest M&M’s usually start being available in stores around mid-September and we’ve seen them all the way through Thanksgiving. The Harvest-colored M&M’s have a special gold color and a darker red and brown. If you can’t find those, just pull out the Red, Yellow, Orange and Brown M&M’s from a regular bag of M&M’s.
How to Make the Pretzel Bites

Step 1: We like to use the square Pretzel Snaps when making Pretzel Bites but you can also use the regular mini pretzels. First, place 7-8 Pretzel Snaps on a paper plate. Cover the pretzels with a Wilton Candy Melt. Place the paper plate in the microwave and heat for approximately 45-50 seconds. The exact timing will take a bit of trial and error. You want the candy melts to be melted enough to press the M&M’s into, but not so melted that the candy melt loses its’ shape. In the picture above you can see that the dark cocoa candy melts have a sheen to them – this is what they look like when they are they are melted just the right amount. The exact time in the microwave will depend on how many pretzel/candy’s you do at one time, how powerful your microwave is, the type of pretzels you are using, etc. For us, 7-8 pretzels snaps take 50 seconds to melt to the right consistency.
Steps 2-4: Start by lightly pressing an M&M down in the center of the melted candy melt. Now create the flower petals with contrasting colored M&M’s – we used six M&M’s for the petals. And remember to place the “M” side down!

Step 5: We created coordinated colored versions of the Harvest Flower Pretzel Bites – Dark Brown with a Gold center, Orange with a Gold center, Dark Red with a Gold Center, and Orange with a Brown Center.
