Yum, Yum, Yum

I, like most people in America, have a job.  I work a pretty regular schedule, which includes one night a week....always Friday nights. Basically, having the chance to do all those things that John and his friends (or anyone else, for that matter) want to to on Friday evenings is pretty much non-existent. This had lead to numerous attempts at treat, peanut butter cups, cakes, fudge....and chocolate covered pretzels. Some of my co-workers seem to love it, they have favorite snacks and I try to accommodate that. At one guy's request this is pretzels, chocolate covered pretzels, with a twist.

Chocolate Pretzel Bites
Ingredients and Supplies:
-Pretzels, I used "Snaps", the circle ones or knotted ones would work well, too -Hershey kisses, unwrapped. I used both milk chocolate and the hugs variety. -M&M's -Cookie Sheet -Parchment Paper




Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 220 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and unwrap the kisses.
2. Put a layer of the pretzels on the parchment covered cookie sheet.
3. Place a kiss on top of each pretzel.
4. Place in oven for about 4 minutes, or until the kisses are melted.
5a. Remove from oven and place a M&M on the kiss, press down.
OR
5b. Remove from oven and place another pretzel on top, press down.
6. Allow to cool.
7. ENJOY!


Unwrapping these silly things takes forever so I brought some help!  Thanks Mi-Mi!  (She ate a few as she was going.)



The Hugs gave them a little flair!  I'm putting the M&M's on top here. Oh, and Mi-Mi took his picture, all by herself, with my DSLR camera.  SHE LEARNED HOW TO USE A DIGITAL CAMERA!!



Finished project!  I got a little chocolate on the M&M's, but I think it's okay.




If you out another pretzel on top instead of M&M, it's more like an sandwich.
There's another definite bonus to this treat making bonus. I get to hang out with my grandmother, Mi-Mi! She's not a big fan of cooking or baking, so when the treats are easy to make, she's happy to help.  She also took a picture of my working with my digital camera.  She's not very technology savvy, so this a amazing!
