Ingredients
Ingredients
- Square Pretzel Snaps – 1 bag (about 25 pretzels)
- Hershey Kisses or Hershey Hugs – 1 bag (about 25 pieces)
- Edible Googly Eyes – 50 pieces (2 eyes per pretzel)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for melting the chocolate kisses.
- Prepare Pretzels: Lay out pretzel snaps flat on a baking tray, making sure to remove any broken pieces to ensure even melting.
- Add Chocolate: Unwrap each Hershey Kiss or Hug and place one on top of each pretzel square. Note that Hershey Hugs melt faster than regular milk chocolate kisses, so baking times may need adjusting accordingly.
- Melt Chocolate: Put the baking tray in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes for Hershey Kisses, or 7-8 minutes if using Hershey Hugs, until the chocolate softens and turns shiny.
- Apply Googly Eyes and Set: Immediately remove the tray from the oven, place two edible googly eyes on top of each softened chocolate, then transfer the tray to the refrigerator or freezer. Chill for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set firmly before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh pretzels to ensure crispiness underneath the melted chocolate.
- If you use Hershey Hugs, reduce baking time to prevent over-melting.
- Edible googly eyes can be found at specialty baking stores or online.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- These treats combine sweet and salty flavors, making them a delightful party snack.
