Needing a sweet treat after a savory meal is a universal experience. However, when you\u2019re craving a little sugar, it\u2019s likely you don\u2019t have time to whip up a gourmet chocolate dessert (no matter how much you want a homemade lava cake nightly). While searching for simple snack recipes that require little to no baking and already-stocked pantry ingredients, I found pretzel snaps.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
Now, despite the fact that they take ten minutes or less to prepare, I don\u2019t make them often. In fact, I usually make this three-ingredient treat once a year around the holidays, when my family can share in the chocolatey goodness (because trust me, these are so dangerously good you\u2019ll want to eat bowls of them). We usually wind up with approximately three containers full of them, which are consumed in the better part of just a few days. And you\u2019ll see why when you read the ingredient list.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
All you need is a bag of square pretzels, Hershey\u2019s Kisses, and M&M’s.<\/p>\n

How To Make 3-Ingredient Pretzel Snaps <\/span> <\/h2>\n
Ingredients <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n
\n
Hershey’s Kisses<\/li>\n
small square pretzels, such as Snyder’s “Snaps”<\/li>\n
red and green M&M’s<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n
\n
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange square pretzels on a rimmed baking sheet in neat lines. (There\u2019s no need to lay parchment paper on the pan, but you can if you prefer not to wash chocolate off the pan afterward.)<\/li>\n
Place a Hershey\u2019s Kiss in the center of each square pretzel until every single one is layered. Carefully (as not to move the pretzels around) transfer the baking sheet into the oven. Allow the chocolate to warm for just two minutes. It\u2019s very<\/em> important to watch the Hershey\u2019s Kisses to make sure they don\u2019t completely melt\u2014you want them just melted enough so that they keep their base shape and can withstand an M&M on top.<\/li>\n
Grab an oven mitt and take the baking sheet out of the oven (place it on a wire rack). Top each with an M&M of your choosing. It\u2019s better to do this part quickly before the Hershey\u2019s Kiss hardens (I recruit a few extra hands for this part). Place the sheet of pretzel snaps in the fridge for 10 minutes to several hours for them to form into one chocolatey, mouth-watering snack\u2014use your best judgement on the timing, I\u2019ve left them for up to three hours at a time. Once stiffened, transfer them from the baking sheet to a container and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Serving a crowd? Depending on how many people you\u2019re preparing them for, use multiple baking sheets. A good rule of thumb is to set up the amount of pretzels based on the amount of Hershey\u2019s Kisses you have.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
