M&M Flower Pretzels are cute, simple treats made with just pretzels, white candy melts, and pastel M&M’s.
M&M Flower Pretzels
I love making these flower pretzels—they’re easy, delicious, and perfect for adding a fun Spring touch to desserts like a dirt cake.
The sweet and salty combo is unbeatable, just like another favorite treat—turtles!
Here’s What You’ll Need
You’ll only need three ingredients to make M&M Flower Pretzels:
- Pretzels: Use snap pretzels for a sturdy base. Skip the twists!
- White Candy Melts: Choose a quality brand for smooth melting. Ghirardelli is my favorite, but if you can’t find it, melting wafers work too, though they’re not quite as tasty.
- Pastel M&M’s: Spring-colored M&Ms are my go-to, but any colors will work.
Quick Tip
Use leftover pretzel snaps in Leprechaun Thumbprints or Peppermint Bark Pretzels!
How To Make M&M Flower Pretzels
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 250°F.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line with parchment or a silicone liner.
- Arrange Pretzels: Place pretzels in rows on the sheet.
- Add Candy Melts: Put a candy melt on each pretzel.
- Soften in Oven: Warm for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Create Flowers: Quickly add an M&M in the center and 6 around it to form a flower.
- Cool: Let cool completely before serving.
Recipe Tips
These M&M Flower Pretzels are easy to make, but here are a few tips:
- Line the Pan: Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and for easy clean-up.
- Quick Assembly: Have your M&M’s ready before removing the pretzels from the oven, as the candy melts set quickly.
- Switch Colors: Mix and match M&M colors to create fun, themed flowers for special occasions or holidays.
- Hide the “M”: Place M&M’s with the “M” side down for a cleaner look.
Storage
Store M&M Flower Pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
