Directions

How to Store Flower Pretzel Bites

Tips to Make Flower Pretzel Bites

  • Make sure the pretzels are all facing the same direction for a neat presentation.
  • Experiment with different colors of M&Ms to fit your theme or occasion.
  • If you want a thicker chocolate layer, use more candy melts on each pretzel.

Variation

For a nutty twist, you can add crushed peanuts or mini chocolate chips on top of the melted chocolate before it cools.

How long does it take to make Flower Pretzel Bites?
The whole process takes about 20-30 minutes, including preparation and cooling time.

What other candies can I use?
You can use any type of candy that fits well on the pretzel, like chocolate-covered raisins or gummy candies for a different flavor!
