When we started Two Sisters, we had never heard of pretzel bites.  We are happy to say that we now not only know what a pretzel bite is, but we have created one for every kind of occasion.  The contrast between the crunchy and salty pretzel, the sweet white chocolate candy melt, and the crunchy chocolatey goodness of the M&M’s is simply perfection! These Spring Flower Pretzel Bites turned out so beautifully and are the perfect sweet and salty bite. If you are looking for a delicious sweet snack for Easter, Mother’s Day, Baby Showers, Birthdays, or just a random Sunday you’ve come to the right place. Enjoy!

Ingredients You Will Need

All the ingredients you will need to make Spring Flower Pretzel Bites including Easter Mix M&M's, Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers and Hanover Pretzel Snaps.
  • Pretzels: For the pretzels, we like to use the square “snaps” because we think they hold the melted chocolate with less dripping but you could make Mini Pretzels work too if that is all you can find at the grocery store.
  • White Chocolate:  We used to recommend that you use Wilton Candy Melts but in the last few years Wilton decreased the size of the candy melts and now they are too small to hold all the M&M petals now.  So we have switched to the Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers, which you can find in the grocery store in the baking aisle.  The Ghirardelli wafers are on the small size too but if you are careful, they will work.
  • Easter Mix M&M’s:  This is a special mix of M&M’s that is available in stores in the Spring and features pretty pastel versions of the M&M colors.  You’ll find them with the Easter Candy in your grocery store in March and April.

How to Make the Flower Pretzel Bites

A bag of Easter Mix M&M's separated by color, each color in its own white ramekin.

Step 1:  Here is a Two Sisters tip … take the time to separate the colors of the M&M’s. It saves so much time when you are adding the M&M’s to the melted white chocolate.

Step 2: Arrange 8 or 9 pretzels on a microwave safe plate.  Timing is crucial in this process and you don’t want to melt the chocolate on too many pretzels at one time or by the time you get to the 15th pretzel, the chocolate will have hardened back up and you won’t be able to press in the M&M’s.  We have found that 8-9 is a good number.
Step 3: Place a candy melt in the center of the pretzel. Then place the plate of pretzels in the microwave and heat them until the candy melts are at the beginning stage of being melted – they should be soft to the touch and melted enough to press a M&M down into it but not so melty that the candy is running off the pretzel.  In our microwave, it took a plate of 9 pretzels 40 seconds to get to this point.  [Tip:  You can also use your oven for the candy melting process — place the pretzels and candy melts on a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil and heat in a very low oven (200-250 degrees) for a couple of minutes until the candy is melted.]

Steps 4-11: Using Easter-colored M&M’s, place a single M&M in the center of the melted candy melt for the flower center. Now create the flower petals with contrasting colored M&M’s – we used six M&M’s for the petals.  We like to place the “M” side down!

Step 12: We let the Spring Flower Pretzel Bites set out for a couple of hours so that the Candy Melts could fully set before we stored them in an air-tight container.  They will last for a very long time in an air-tight container.
