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 have a favorite…but the 24 hour weight for them is a super pain! It felt awesome when I finally found..The One! So I am sure you were just as thrilled!

    Just wondering if it’s ok to double or triple this recipe or does it need to be done in small batches?
    Thanks!

      I have doubled this recipe and it worked out just fine.

    I’ve been making this recipe for years now and it is always a huge success. I make one slight change, I add a 1/2 teaspoon of espresso powder at the sugar stage and I love how it brings out the chocolate to a different level.

      Oh that’s a great change. I’ve never tried adding espresso powder to my chocolate chip cookies. I’m going to have to try that next time for sure!
