👩🍳Recipe Notes
- Choose the right pretzels. Mini pretzels or pretzel squares work best as they provide a perfect base for attaching candies.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
- Bake the pretzels with candies in the oven for a short time, typically 2-4 minutes, or until the candies are shiny and slightly softened. Be cautious not to overcook, as this can cause the candies to melt completely.
- As soon as you remove the baking tray from the oven, add the M&M candies.
