Christmas Pretzel Hugs
I go overboard during the holidays when it comes to making these Mint M&M Christmas Pretzels with Hugs. I start to feel like a robot on an assembly line because I make so many, including a variety of some of my other favorites like Peppermint Pretzel Bites, Rolo Pretzel Turtles, Sugar Cookie Pretzel Bites, and S’mores Pretzel Bites.
Pans full of these are constantly rotating between my deck, front step, and refrigerator to cool them as fast as possible so I can use the pans to bake more! They make such perfect gifts and they are fun to make!
You, too, can make mass quantities of them and give them as gifts. Just attach these Free Printable Christmas Gift Tags and give them to your friends, family, and neighbors!

Recipe Notes:
- Seasonal – These don’t have to be a seasonal treat. You can actually get mint M&M’s year round now!
- Pretzels – You don’t have to use round pretzels. I prefer the round pretzels because the Hug melts evenly, so they look better. But they are only in store’s during the holidays. The next best option is the square pretzels.
- Quantity – It’s best to make one pan of these at a time. You don’t want to manage too many at once because the Hug starts to set. You want to be able to easily press the M&M into the melted chocolate.
- M&M’s – You don’t have to use the mint flavor, you can use any M&M you’d like.
