Has anyone ever made the pretzels with the hershey kiss on top?  I heard about this and thought that it would be a good treat for Ben to take to school TOMORROW.  Yeah, I just made them and it DID NOT turn out for me.  I burned the kisses.  So I heard that you can put the kiss on top of the pretzel, put it in the oven and then when they are done put an m&m on top.  HELLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I need the exact instructions, not just some brief description.  anyone?  anyone?  Bueller?

I make them every year.I set the oven at 200 degrees, cover a cookie sheet with foil...place the kiss on the pretzel and let it sit in the oven for two minutes. Pull it out, press down with the M&M and then transfer the foil to the bottom shelf in the the fridge to set up. Usually about 10 minutes.Good luck!

THANK YOU MIDGE!!!!!!!!!!!  I hope that I can make it work, it is this or a run to Giant Eagle before preschool tomorrow.  My to-do list is just getting longer and longer and I want to get this done.  Oh, and dh tells me tonight that I have to submit something for his bake sale at work.  UM, let me get right on that.

They turned out great!!  I made about 3 dozen of them.  Here is a pic that I lifted from a website (I didn't do ones with Hugs, but that would be delicious too!) **ETA:  Midge, I think that your method of using the foil instead of the parchment paper was clutch.  Thank you again.  You saved the day

Instead of the m & m on top, I use a pecan.  They are so so good!  And I pretty much follow the same directions as Midge. My dh and I made divinity together tonight.  It was our first time ever to attemp it and it actually turned out.  We're pretty excited about it!

Marcy, I made little baggies with the pretzels in them for Marc to take to work.  I honestly don't care.  Hey, he wanted to volunteer me to do a bake sale, he will get what I make for him!!

That's what I would have done too! I think they'd sell faster than breads or anything. They are sooooo addicting too.
