🥘Ingredients

For the Pretzel Dough

1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Baking Soda Bath and Topping

1/2 cup baking soda
1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Coarse sea salt
24 Hershey Kisses, unwrapped
1/2 cup M&Ms

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar.
2Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
3This indicates the yeast is active and ready to use.
4Add the flour, salt, and melted butter to the yeast mixture.
5Stir with a wooden spoon or use a stand mixer with a dough hook on low speed until a shaggy dough forms.
6Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
7Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes until it has doubled in size.
8While the dough rises, preheat your oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
9Bring a large pot of water to a boil and carefully add the baking soda.
10The water will bubble vigorously.
11While the water heats, punch down the risen dough and divide it into 24 equal pieces.
12Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
13Using a slotted spoon, drop 3 to 4 dough balls into the boiling baking soda water for 30 seconds.
14The dough will puff slightly and become shiny.
15Remove them with the slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
16Brush each boiled dough ball with the egg wash and sprinkle with a pinch of coarse sea salt.
17Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the pretzel bites are deep golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
18Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one Hershey Kiss into the center of each hot pretzel bite.
19The heat from the pretzel will soften the chocolate.
20Quickly press 3 to 4 M&Ms into the softened chocolate before it sets.
21Transfer the pretzel bites to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
22Serve warm for the best texture, with the chocolate slightly melted and the pretzel soft inside.

📝Notes

Tips: For extra flavor, use salted butter in the dough. If the chocolate hardens before you add the M&Ms, place the baking sheet back in the warm oven for 30 seconds to soften it again. You can also use white chocolate or caramel-filled Hershey Kisses for variation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Pretzel Bites with Hershey Kiss and M&M Topping

Q1: What type of pretzels should I use for this recipe?

For this recipe, I recommend using a large or extra-large pretzel rod. You can find these at most grocery stores or online. If you can’t find pretzel rods, you can also use regular-sized pretzels broken in half.

Q2: Can I use milk chocolate chips instead of M&M’s?

Yes, you can use milk chocolate chips instead of M&M’s if you prefer. However, keep in mind that milk chocolate chips are sweeter than M&M’s, so you may want to adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe accordingly.

Q3: How do I store leftover pretzels with Hershey Kiss and M&M’s?

You can store leftover pretzels with Hershey Kiss and M&M’s in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you won’t be consuming them within that time frame, consider freezing them for up to 2 months.

Q4: Can I use other types of candy or nuts instead of M&M’s?

While M&M’s are the traditional choice for this recipe, you can experiment with other types of candy or nuts if you prefer. Some options include chopped peanut butter cups, chopped candy bars (such as Snickers or Milky Way), or chopped almonds.

Q5: Is this recipe suitable for vegans?

No, this recipe is not suitable for vegans due to the presence of Hershey Kisses (which contain dairy) and M&M’s (which contain dairy and may contain animal-derived ingredients). If you’re looking for a vegan alternative, consider substituting the Hershey Kisses with dairy-free chocolate chips and using vegan-friendly candies or nuts instead of M&M’s.
