Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 24 circle or square-shaped pretzels
- 24 Hershey’s Kisses Hugs (or any flavor Kiss)
- 24 candy corn candies
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C) to prepare for melting the chocolates.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, then arrange the pretzels in a single layer on the sheet.
- Add Hershey’s Hugs: Unwrap each Hershey’s Hug and place one on top of each pretzel, ensuring they sit securely.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 4 minutes or until the Hug starts to melt and soften.
- Prepare Candy Corn: While the chocolates are melting, get your candy corn candies ready so you can work quickly when the pretzels come out of the oven.
- Press Candy Corn: Remove the baking sheet from the oven carefully. Gently press one candy corn candy onto each softened Hug, flattening the chocolate around the candy corn. If the chocolate does not flatten easily, place the pretzels back in the oven for 30 more seconds.
- Cool and Set: Let the pretzels cool completely at room temperature, then place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set firmly before serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Work quickly when adding the candy corn because the chocolate hardens fast once out of the oven.
- For extra flavor, try different Hershey’s Kisses varieties such as peppermint or caramel.
- Store finished candy corn pretzel hugs in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
- Adjust baking time slightly based on your oven’s heat and the size of the Hershey’s Hugs used.
