Pretzel Bites are a great holiday treat – sweet, salty, crunchy and delicious. And they could not be easier to make. We love them because you can make them in any color combination which makes them perfect for any holiday throughout the year. These festive Christmas Flower Pretzel Bites are a good example of this versatility! You’ll definitely want to add these to your holiday baking list this year.
How to Make
Step 1: To make these lovely Christmas Flower Pretzel Bites we used the special Christmas Blend bag of M&M’s. You can usually find the Christmas M&M’s in stores after Halloween and they have only red and green M&M’s in the bag.
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 candy melts have a sheen to them – this is what they look like when they are the melted the perfect amount. The exact time in the microwave will depend on how many pretzel/candy’s you do at one time, how powerful your microwave is, the type of pretzels you are using, etc. For us, 7-8 pretzels snaps take 50 seconds to melt to the right consistency.
The Christmas Flower Pretzel Bites are very easy to assemble. Start by pressing an M&M down in the center of the melted candy melt. 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 2: We created coordinated colored versions of the Harvest Flower Pretzel Bites – Red with a Green center and Green with a Red center. These Christmas Flower Pretzel Bites are so pretty and festive. And boy do they taste great. These Christmas Flower Pretzel Bites are a great snack for the Winter Holidays and Christmas. Pretzel Bites are always a big hit at any party we give. They are both unique and delicious and your guests will be clamoring for more!
