We love making tons of treats during the holiday season, like our favorite White Chocolate Christmas Mix, White Chocolate Peppermint Bark, our Peppermint Brownie Bite Cookies. These may be the easiest Christmas candies we have ever made and they have quickly become a favorite in our home. We will be making them for teachers, friends, family members and our mail lady this year!

How do you make Peppermint Pretzel Bites?

Lay out as many pretzel squares as you like. For this batch, I used 60.
Top each pretzel square with a peppermint Hershey’s Kiss.
Place in the oven for 4-5 minutes.
Carefully pull them out of the oven and gently place an M-n-M on each one, pushing down slightly. Once you’ve topped them all, place in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat or gift them!

This sounds so yummy. Any idea how long the shelf life is for these? (i.e. if gifting)
I gotta have Vic make these this year. He would have a blast. Thanks girl!
I have never made these but they look so good and they are the perfect combo of the kind of sweets I love! Thanks for sharing, Jessica, and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I’ve got some pretzel lovers in my house… these would be a HIT!
These wouldn’t last long at my house! In fact I know they wouldn’t because I’ve made them in the past. Now I want to make them again after seeing your pretty photographs of the ones you made.
Oh my gosh, how simple is that?! I’m definitely making these for our holiday get together.
Yum, I already know that I’ll love this. Anything sweet and salty is a good thing for me.
How long do you have to refrigerate these cookies & why?
I only refrigerate them to allow the chocolate to harden back up after melting…so, for about 15 minutes.
