Christmas Kisses

12/13/2013

If you were following me on The Blog Baton on Wednesday I shared a sneak peak at the holiday treats that I made this year, Christmas Kisses. I love how simple these are to make and how you can customize them for any any holiday or occasion. So to make them Christmas themed, and to add a little twist to the standard recipe, I bought red and green M&M's, peanut butter M&M's and peppermint kisses. The only issue I came across was that the peppermint kisses melted a little quicker than the chocolate ones so you make more than one variety just put them on different cookie sheets. Here is how I made my Peppermint Kisses...

Ingredients

Pretzel Squares
Hershey's Kisses
Hershey's Peppermint Kisses
Red and Green M&M's
Red and Green Peanut Butter M&M's

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 250F.
2. Create one layer of pretzels on your cookie sheet and place one kiss on each pretzel. I did half peppermint and half chocolate kisses for mine.

3. Place the cookie sheet of kisses into the oven for 5-7 minutes. They will be ready to be taken out when they get a shiny look.
4. Once you pull them out have your M&M's ready and place one M&M on top of each kiss. I placed the regular M&M's on the peppermint kisses and peanut butter M&M's on the chocolate kisses.

5. Once all the kisses have their M&M on top let them sit to cool off for at least an hour.
6. And for the final step I found these adorable treat bags in the dollar spot at Target which are perfect for these treats!
