Chocolate pretzels made easy with a little bling on top.

It’s Friday night and I feel free. Most college students would be out partying to express their liberation…but I’m writing you beautiful people a blog post. I’ve tried over the past couple days to write a post; however, I discovered that inspired writing is not fostered by “exhausted and annoyed college student.” But I just ate dinner and watched a movie with some awesome people, and I feel like I absorbed some of their awesomeness. 

I’m also so excited because I get to see my amazing family in 3 weeks! I haven’t seen my brother, my dad, or my doggy in 3 months! Christmas break is in sight folks! I have 8 more days of classes, 2 reading days, 3 finals, and then I’m home for a month!

The only thing to bring down my mood right now is the fact that no pretzel hugs are available. No, I do not want a hug from a pretzel. I am hug deprived here at college with no mommy to give me a goodnight hug, but I’m not asking pretzels for hugs yet. No see, this recipe is a pretzel with a melted Hershey’s Hug on top and a M&M in the middle. Let me tell you something though…you may not be getting an actual hug, but it’s pretty darn close. 

My friend, Caroline, introduced me to the bliss of this recipe. I like this recipe better than dipping pretzels in chocolate because it is half the time and half the mess. Just pop a Hershey’s hug or kiss on top of pretzels, throw them in the oven, press an M&M in the middle, and let them cool.

Couldn’t be much easier than that! I made these with fall colored M&Ms to make them festive! The baking club made these for an event and they were all gone within 20 minutes. Unfortunately, they are a little too easy to eat!

Happy pretzel hugging!

…and voilà!
