Easy M&M Treats
These little guys remind me of Christmas growing up. We always made them. They’re the perfect combination of salty and sweet and are the perfect bite-size.
These treats would also be great for any other occasion. Pink or blue M&Ms for a baby shower, orange and black for Halloween, red and blue for Forth of July. I highly recommend making this a two-man job. It will make things go a lot smoother.
Easy M&M Treats (by ME!)
1 1-lb bag of mini-pretzels
2 big bag of M&Ms
2 packages of Almond Bark
Line 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper. Lie pretzels (flat side down) on the waxed paper. They can be very close to each other.
Melt almond bark in the microwave according to the directions on the package. Using a spoon, scoop some of the melted almond bark into the holes of the pretzels. Before it starts to set, put 3 M&Ms into the melted almond bark. This is where it helps to have an extra set of hands. Usually I pour the melted almond bark while Hubby puts the M&Ms in.
When the sheet is full, put it in the freezer or outside to let the almond bark set.
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
I am OBSESSED with French macarons. I want little bakeries all over Boston selling them. I promise to be a good customer 😉
Both of your version sound (and look) absolutely delicious!!
Looking forward to seeing what you and Megan bake next.

You should definitely get her cookbook. I’ve had mine for a few months now and it’s very drool-worthy.
That could be. It was a bit nerve-wracking to tell when they were mixed enough…
Let me know how it turns out for you.
