Today I thought I'd share with you something that I've recently fallen head over heels in love with. Naturally it's food related, and yes it includes chocolate.
If I haven't mentioned it yet, chocolate makes me HAPPY...ummm yeah, like REALLY happy. Like when I see something in all it's chocolaty wonder I literally do a "happy dance." And well, these wickedly delicious little bad boys had me dancing all over the kitchen {time and time again as I kept raiding the fridge for more}.
There is something rather euphoric about combining something salty with something sweet. I can't quite explain what it is but, it really gets my taste buds all twitterpated even just thinking about it.
So enough of my blabbing, let's get to it shall we?

I call them
Pretzel Kisses
Now, I must confess that I did not come up with this idea on my own. I found them on one of my daily Pinterest browsing sessions. Which by the way, if you haven't checked out Pinterest yet then you are TOTALLY missing out peeps!
Anywho, I tried to search and find who actually created these marvelous little things but I couldn't find any one person to give the credit too. So, if any of you out there know then please tell me so I can personally send this genius a virtual hug. I did however come up with the name, Pretzel Kisses, which I think is pretty darn tootin'.
*wink*
So, if you're looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth or have a chocolaty PMS craving {I actually considered swapping out the M&M with a Midol pill...how rad would that be? Talk about killing two birds with one stone!} then you are going to want to run to the kitchen and make these...PRONTO.
Now on to the goodness...
What you'll need:
Pretzels
M&M's
{you could even use peanut butter M&M's...oh my!}
Hershey Kisses
{I bet they'd be fantastic with Hershey's Hugs too!}
A baking sheet
Parchment paper or Silpat
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat and arrange pretzels on top. Then unwrap Hershey Kisses and place one on top of each pretzel.
Place in oven for 3 minutes then remove and press an M&M on each one.
