Ingredients You Will Need
How to Prepare the Caramels
Step 1: The first step is preparing the Caramel candies. We used Brach’s Caramel candies.
Step 2: Using a sharp knife, cut the caramel candy piece in half.
Step 3: Then use the palm of your hand to roll the pieces of caramel into balls.
Step 4: Take the caramel ball and gently press it onto the Pretzel Snap, flattening the caramel until it is slightly smaller than the pretzel itself.
How to Prepare the Hershey’s Kisses
Step 5: Each Pretzel Bite will use one caramel and one Hershey Kiss candy.
Step 6: Unwrap the Kiss and use a knife to slice off the pointy top of the chocolate candy. This will give you just the right amount of chocolate for the pretzel bite.
Step 7: Place a handful of Kisses bottom-up/cut side down on a paper plate.
Step 8: Melt the Chocolate Kisses in the microwave for approximately 50 seconds until they are soft but not runny.
How to Assemble the Pretzel Bites
Step 9 – 10: When you take the slightly melted Kiss out of the oven, press a single M&M onto the top as shown above. Use the tip of a knife to transfer the chocolate disc to the caramel disc.
Step 11: Place the pretzel bites in the refrigerator to firm back up. You are done! These Spring Caramel Pretzel Bites are just that easy to make!
