Belly Button M&M pretzels (2024)

These sweet and salty Hershey Kiss Pretzels are so cute and so easy to make! They make a great gift or fun after school snack for the kids!

These Hershey Kiss Pretzels are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The creamy chocolate with the crunch of the pretzel…I might have to make more of these right now! They are so dang good. They come together so quickly and they are easy enough that your kids can help you make them! Have them put the kisses onto the pretzels before they go in the oven, then let them press the M&Ms onto the chocolate once they are out of the oven.

Ingredients In Hershey Kiss Pretzels

• Mini Pretzel Twists – Pretzel twists or pretzel snaps make a great base for these yummy pretzel treats.
• Hershey Kisses – This basic recipe uses milk chocolate kisses.
• M&M Candies – Our basic recipe uses milk chocolate M&Ms.

Variations

You can customize your Hershey Kiss Pretzels any way you’d like! I love getting different colors of M&Ms and other types of kisses/hugs for different events and holidays. Check out some of our favorite variations below.

• The Christmas M&M’s look so festive and cute and you can use the candy cane kisses, peppermint kisses, or Hershey’s hugs.
• The pastel M&Ms that you can get around Easter time work great for bridal showers and baby showers.
• You can use pumpkin spice kisses and the Autumn colored M&Ms for fall or Halloween as well.
• If you want to get really creative you can switch up the M&M flavors as well – like using dark chocolate mint M&Ms with the mint truffle kisses, or white chocolate kisses with a flavored M&M – the possibilities are endless.
• You can also use different shapes of pretzel, like the grid squares or the open circles.
• One commenter suggested using Rolos instead of the kiss, and pressing a pecan into it – making it like a turtle!

Give Hershey Kiss Pretzels as a Gift!

Hershey Kiss Pretzels make great gifts! You can make them in a large batch and then package them in individual baggies as a small gift or treat for friends and neighbors. I like using the small cellophane bags – you can even find them at the dollar store sometimes – and then tying it off with a colorful ribbon! It looks classy but it takes literally seconds. Use some of the different flavor ideas mentioned previously and make baby shower or bridal shower favors, gifts for your kid’s classes at school, Christmas neighbor gifts, birthday party treats, movie night snacks, or just treats in your kid’s lunchboxes.
