Instructions
Build Candy Cane Pretzel Kisses Step by Step
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your Kisses melt perfectly when placed on the pretzels.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the pretzel kisses without sticking.
- Place the waffle-style pretzels on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Leave some space between each pretzel to allow the chocolate to spread.
- Unwrap your Kisses and place one on top of each pretzel. If you're using Candy Cane Kisses, the festive flavor will shine through!
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for about 4-5 minutes until the Kisses start melting but do not lose their shape. Keep an eye on them!
- While the Kisses are melting, place candy canes in a zip-top bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin. Set aside for garnishing.
- Once the Kisses have melted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle the crushed candy canes over each Kiss.
- Allow the Candy Cane Pretzel Kisses to cool completely at room temperature. The chocolate will harden, making them easy to handle.
Notes
- Use different flavored Kisses to customize the treats for various occasions.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to two months.
- Reheat gently in a low oven to soften the chocolate before serving.
- Crushed nuts or sprinkles can be used as alternative toppings for different seasons or events.
- Keep an eye on baking time as ovens vary; you want the Kisses to melt but not lose shape.
