Ingredients You Will Need

Preparing the M&M’s

We used the special Springtime/Easter Blend bag of M&M’s that have Lavender and Lt. Green M&M’s as part of the mix. This particular version of the special Holiday M&M’s are usually available in stores in the spring, after Valentines and before Easter.  You can also find them year-round on Amazon. You can also buy individual bags of white, lavender and light green M&M’s at party stores, online on Amazon and from the official M&M website.

How to Make the Pretzel Bites

Steps 1-2: For the pretzels, we like to use the square “snaps” or the round “waffle” pretzels because we think they hold the melted chocolate with less dripping but you can make Mini Pretzels work too if that is all you can find at the grocery store.  First, place 7-8 Pretzel Snaps on a paper plate. Cover the pretzels with a White Chocolate Melting Wafer. Place the paper plate in the microwave and heat for approximately 45-50 seconds. The exact timing will take a bit of trial and error.  You want the candy melts to be melted enough to press the M&M’s into, but not so melted that the candy melt loses its’ shape.  In the picture above you can see that the white candy melts have a sheen to them – this is what they look like when they are the melted the perfect amount.  The exact time in the microwave will depend on how many pretzel/candy you do at one time, how powerful your microwave is, the type of pretzels you are using, etc.  For us, 7-8 pretzels snaps take 50 seconds to melt to the right consistency.

Steps 3-10: Start by pressing a white M&M into the center of the melted candy melt.  Now create the flower petals with lavender and light green M&M’s – we used six M&M’s for the petals.  

We created two different color versions of the Wild Flower Pretzel Bites – Lavender with a White center and Light Green with a White center. Let them cool for a couple of hours so that the White Chocolate fully sets up and the M&M’s are firmly attached to the pretzels.

Storage Instructions

You can store Pretzel Bites in an air-tight container for a very long time so this is a great make-ahead party food.  Your goal is simply to keep the Pretzels from getting stale, the chocolate and M&M’s will be fine for a long time.  We have kept them in a container in the pantry for weeks and they still taste great.  You can freeze them but we don’t recommend it. Sometimes, during the defrosting process, the M&M’s lose their shiny coat.
