Christmas treat time :)

The closer we get to Christmas, the more my apartment begins to smell of wonderful holiday baking aromas. Love it! Today I decided to make some traditional family candies and even managed to put a tasty spin on them...maybe it will become my own traditional Christmas candy :)

Both candies start with a pretzel base and both are topped with delightful red and green M&M's, but the middle part is what makes them so snazzy! On the left, it is a Hershey Kiss Hugs and on the right it is a Rolo (caramel and chocolate). Preheat the oven to the lowest temperature setting - usually 170-180 degrees. Place pretzels on a cookie sheet and top with a Hershey Hug or Rolo. Place in oven until semi-melted -- watch carefully!!! Remove from oven and top with M&M. Let dry completely before packaging in air-tight container.

**WARNING: You won't be able to eat just one :)
