• 1 bag yellow M&M candies
How to Make Butterbeer Kiss Pretzel Bites
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to make cleanup easy.
Step 2: Arrange the pretzels
Lay the square pretzels out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Place one Butterbeer Hershey’s Kiss in the center of each pretzel.
Step 3: Warm the chocolate
Place the baking sheet in the oven for 2–3 minutes, just until the chocolate kisses begin to soften.
You want them soft enough to press into but not completely melted.
Step 4: Add the candy
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately press one yellow M&M into the center of each softened kiss.
The chocolate will spread slightly and hold the candy in place.
Step 5: Let them set
Allow the pretzel bites to cool completely so the chocolate can firm up again.
You can let them sit at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to speed up the process.
Jennie’s Thoughts
I love recipes like this because they’re simple but still feel special. There’s something about the combination of crunchy pretzels and creamy chocolate that always works.
When I saw the Butterbeer Hershey’s Kisses, I immediately knew they would be perfect for a sweet and salty treat like this. The buttery flavor pairs so well with the pretzels, and the little yellow M&M on top adds a pop of color that makes them look fun and festive.
Sometimes the easiest recipes are the ones people remember the most.
Tips for Perfect Pretzel Bites
• Don’t leave the kisses in the oven too long or they’ll melt completely
• Press the M&M gently so the chocolate spreads slightly
• Use parchment paper so the chocolate doesn’t stick
• Let them cool fully before moving them so they hold their shape
Variations to Try
Once you make these, it’s easy to switch them up with other candies.
Try using:
• Peanut butter cups instead of kisses
• Caramel filled chocolates
• Different colored M&M candies for holidays
• White chocolate kisses for a sweeter version
The base idea stays the same — pretzel, chocolate, and a candy center.
How to Store
Store the pretzel bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
They’re also great for making ahead for parties or holiday trays.
These Butterbeer Kiss Pretzel Bites prove that you don’t need a complicated recipe to make something fun and delicious. With just a few ingredients and a couple minutes in the oven, you can create a sweet and salty treat that everyone will love.
They’re easy, adorable, and perfect for sharing — though you might want to make a double batch because they tend to disappear quickly!
