Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 bag pretzels (circles or squares work best)
  • 1 bag candy corn
  • 1 bag Hershey Kisses

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Place a sheet of parchment paper or tin foil down on a cookie sheet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Arrange Pretzels: Lay the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared cookie sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
  3. Add Hershey Kisses: Unwrap and place one Hershey Kiss on top of each pretzel.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for about 4-5 minutes, just until the kisses begin to soften but not completely melt.
  5. Add Candy Corn: Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and immediately place one candy corn on top of each softened Hershey Kiss, gently pressing down to adhere.
  6. Set the Treats: Transfer the cookie sheet to the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate and candy corn to harden and set firmly.
  7. Serve: Once set, remove from refrigerator and enjoy your Candy Corn Pretzel Hugs as a fun, sweet-and-salty snack.

Notes

  • Use circular or square pretzels for the best fit with Hershey Kisses and candy corn.
  • Keep a close eye during baking to prevent the chocolate from fully melting or burning.
  • Use parchment paper or foil to avoid sticking and facilitate easy transfer to the refrigerator.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute with gluten-free pretzels.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
