Spring M&M Pretzel Treats

Friday, April 9, 2010

I realized I’ve posted these little treats on my blog, not once, not twice, but three times already. But they’re seriously so simple and delicious, I decided it was ok to post them again.

I was at CVS yesterday browsing through the 50% off Easter candy when the M&Ms caught my eye. I had some almond bark in the pantry so I instantly thought of these treats. The last time I was home in the Midwest, I stocked up on almond bark at the grocery store. I haven’t been able to find it in the Boston area anywhere. The Wilton candy melts work ok, but I definitely prefer using almond bark.

These are perfect for spring and we’ll be taking them this weekend when we visit Hubby’s family.

I am OBSESSED with French macarons. I want little bakeries all over Boston selling them. I promise to be a good customer 😉
Both of your version sound (and look) absolutely delicious!!
Looking forward to seeing what you and Megan bake next.

You should definitely get her cookbook. I’ve had mine for a few months now and it’s very drool-worthy.

That could be. It was a bit nerve-wracking to tell when they were mixed enough…
