Valentine Treats
Ingredients
- 16 oz. Square Pretzels (1 bag)
- 11.4 oz. Valentine M&M’s (red/pink mix), 1 bag
- 12 oz. Hershey’s Hugs (1 bag)
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients.
- 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? (I had 73 hugs in my bag, so I made 70 little cookies.)
- 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
- How To Store: Simply place your pretzel Valentine treats in a covered container and store at room temperature for up to 5 days.

These look easy and yummy! Do you know for how long they will keep? I would like to make them ahead of time and store them – probably in an air-tight container on the counter?
Hi Pao ~ these pretzel treats will store well in an air-tight container on the counter for up to 1 week. 🙂
I’m glad they will keep! I made these pretzels for my kids on Friday as I have to travel for work and won’t be with them on Valentine’s day. I bet my kids will love them (I might have eaten one… or five while making them).
Thanks for the response. I’m really enjoying your blog
Aww… thank you, Pao – I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying the blog! That’s so sweet you made them ahead of time as a surprise for your kids! Also, I completely agree – they are exceptional. 🙂
