Winter Wonderland M&M Pretzel Bites

Winter has a way of making us crave little cozy pick-me-ups—something sweet, something salty, and definitely something fun. Enter these Winter Wonderland M&M Pretzel Bites: bite-sized treats that look festive, taste amazing, and take almost no time to put together.

They’re crunchy, melty, colorful, and the kind of snack that disappears fast at holiday parties (trust me, you’ll want to make a double batch).

What You’ll Need

• Square pretzels (the grid-shaped ones work best)
• White chocolate candy melts (a.k.a. your snowy base)
• Regular plain M&M’s
• Mini plain M&M’s

How to Make Them

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. A quick warm-up sets the stage for melty goodness.

2. Line up the pretzels on a baking sheet like neat little tiles. These are the crunchy base.

3. Top each pretzel with a white chocolate melt. Think of it as a cozy snow blanket.

4. Bake for 4–5 minutes. You want the chocolate soft enough to press, not completely melted.

5. Press a regular M&M into the center of each one (smooth side up looks nicest).

6. Add two mini M&M’s just above it—like tiny ears or buttons. Festive, fun, and kid-approved.

7. Let them set. Either leave them on the counter for 15 minutes or pop them in the fridge to speed things up.

Why You’ll Love These

• No fuss. Just 4 ingredients and a few minutes of hands-on time.
• Kid-friendly. Little helpers will love adding the M&M’s.
• Perfect for sharing. Great for cookie swaps, holiday trays, or a last-minute snack when friends drop by.

Quick Tip

If you want to mix things up, swap in peppermint M&M’s or drizzle melted dark chocolate on top for an extra fancy finish.
