Holiday Pretzels

Ingredients

• 1 (8 oz.) bag small pretzels (I prefer the square shape)
  
• 2 (14 oz.) bags Hershey's Hugs chocolates
  
• 1 bag M&M's plain chocolate candies (Christmas colors)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  
• Meanwhile, place pretzels on a baking sheet. Unwrap hugs and place one on top of each pretzel. Place in oven for about 3-5 minutes.
  
• Watch carefully! The shape of the hugs candy should remain, but it should be soft when you press on it.
  
• Remove from oven and immediately press one M&M candy on top of the hug, pushing down to spread out the chocolate. It leaves a pretty swirl pattern and the red and green candies on top are very festive.  That's it!  Just chill and store in a tin. Enjoy!
