Pretzel bites are delicious and are a really great treat for your holiday dessert table. We especially love that they can be decorated for any occasion. These Holiday Poinsettia Pretzel Bites are perfect for any Christmas or New Year’s party or celebration.
How to Make
Step 1: For the Holiday Poinsettia Pretzel Bites we used Red and White M&M’s. You can find the Red M&M’s in a Holiday blend bag or a Regular bag of M&M’s. You can also find a bag of white M&M’s at party stores like Party City and online on Amazon. We like to use the square Pretzel Snaps when making Pretzel Bites but you can also use the regular mini pretzels. First, place 7-8 Pretzel Snaps on a paper plate. Cover the pretzels with a Wilton Candy Melt. 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 melted in the perfect amount. The exact time in the microwave will depend on how many pretzels/candies you do at one time, how powerful your microwave is, the type of pretzels you use, etc. For us, 7-8 pretzels snaps take 50 seconds to melt to the right consistency.
Step 2: The Poinsettia Flower Pretzel Bites are very easy to assemble. Start by pressing an M&M down in the center of the melted candy melt.
Steps 3-4: Now create the flower petals with contrasting colored M&M’s – we used six M&M’s for the petals. And remember to place the “M” side down!
Step 5: We created coordinated colored versions of the Holiday Poinsettia Pretzel Bites – Red with a White center, and White with a Red Center.
Step 6: Allow the pretzel bites to completely cool and harden back up before you store them in an air-tight container.
