Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 bag pretzel snaps
- 1 package white candy melts
- 1 package pastel colored M&Ms
Decorative Elements:
- Sprinkles (optional)
Optional Toppings:
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Meticulously slice selected M&Ms into halves, strategically preparing them for bunny ear decorations. Organize M&Ms by color, ensuring each pretzel receives one whole M&M and two half pieces.
- Arrange oven rack to middle position and preheat to 225°F (110°C). Carefully line a baking sheet with parchment paper for uniform heat distribution.
- Systematically arrange pretzel snaps in neat, parallel rows across the prepared baking sheet. Position one white candy melt precisely centered atop each pretzel.
- Transfer baking sheet to preheated oven. Gently warm candy melts for 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly but maintain structural integrity.
- Swiftly place a whole M&M at the center of each softened candy melt, creating the bunny’s face. Delicately position two M&M halves at the top edges, forming distinctive bunny ears.
- Apply gentle pressure to embed M&Ms into the melted candy, ensuring secure attachment and aesthetic alignment.
- Allow treats to rest at room temperature until candy melts completely solidify, approximately 15-20 minutes. The result: charming Easter-themed pretzel decorations ready for celebration.
Notes
- Carefully slice M&Ms with a sharp knife to create precise bunny ears without crushing the candies.
- Choose pastel-colored M&Ms for a more Easter-themed look, matching spring color palettes.
- Work quickly during decoration to prevent candy melts from hardening before placing M&M details.
- Store finished pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispness.
