Valentine Pretzel Kisses

Are you excited for Valentine’s Day?   I love Valentine’s Day, because it is a romantic and girly holiday!   Ever since my hubby and I dated we have always stayed in on Valentine’s Day.  We started a special tradition when we got married that I thourghly enjoy.  The past two years I have made a special dinner and while I am busy in the kitchen my hubby sets out a big comforter in our backyard, hooks up the projector, makes a bonfire, and we have a romantic dinner for two under the stars, while we watch a romantic movie!  Sounds perfect, right?  Well, I love it and I can’t wait to spend the evening under the stars with my hubby!  I wanted to share a simple and easy recipe you can make for your special someone or your kids!  These are sure to be a hit!  If you don’t have time for a fancy dessert, but you want to make something cute and festive, try this easy dessert!

Square pretzels

Hershey’s Raspberry Hugs (you can use Hershey’s Kisses too, but I think the Hugs taste better and they definitely soften up better!

Valentine’s Chocolate M&Ms

Preheat oven to 200° F

Line a cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper.  Place the pretzels on the sheet and top them with the hugs.

Bake for 4-5 minutes until the chocolate is shiny and soft (but NOT melting).

Carefully place an M&M in the center of each hug and press it down to spread the chocolate.

Allow to cool completely (a few minutes in the fridge) and enjoy!
