ingredients

Mini pretzel twists
White candy melts or white chocolate wafers
Pastel M&M’s (assorted colors)

directions

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place mini pretzel twists in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Top each pretzel with a white candy melt or chocolate wafer.

Warm in the oven for 3–4 minutes, just until the candy is soft but not fully melted.

Remove from the oven and immediately press one M&M in the center of each candy, then surround it with 5–6 additional M&M’s to create a flower pattern.

Let the pretzel bites cool completely until the candy hardens again. You can place the tray in the fridge for quicker setting.
