Author: The Frugal Girls

Ingredients

16 oz. Square pretzels {1 bag}

12 oz. Hershey’s Hugs {1 bag}

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Line a large cookie sheet with Pachment Paper.
Place pretzels in rows on cookie sheet. I did 10 rows of 7… or is that 7 rows of 10? Anyhoo… I made 70.
Place 1 unwrapped Hershey’s Hug on the center of each pretzel.
Bake for 4 minutes.
Remove from oven, and immediately {and carefully} press 1 M&M gently down on top of the center of each Hug.
Cool for 30 minutes and allow the hugs to harden back up. {or pop your cookie sheet in the fridge for 10 minutes to speed up the process}. ENJOY!

Notes

I had 73 hugs in my bag, so I made 70 little cookies.
