Easy M&M Treats
These little guys remind me of Christmas growing up. We always made them. They’re the perfect combination of salty and sweet and are the perfect bite-size.
These treats would also be great for any other occasion. Pink or blue M&Ms for a baby shower, orange and black for Halloween, red and blue for Forth of July. I highly recommend making this a two-man job. It will make things go a lot smoother.
Easy M&M Treats (by ME!)
1 1-lb bag of mini-pretzels
2 big bag of M&Ms
2 packages of Almond Bark
Line 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper. Lie pretzels (flat side down) on the waxed paper. They can be very close to each other.
Melt almond bark in the microwave according to the directions on the package. Using a spoon, scoop some of the melted almond bark into the holes of the pretzels. Before it starts to set, put 3 M&Ms into the melted almond bark. This is where it helps to have an extra set of hands. Usually I pour the melted almond bark while Hubby puts the M&Ms in.
When the sheet is full, put it in the freezer or outside to let the almond bark set.

Very, very cool looking cupcakes. Incredibly artsy. I love the flavor combos too. I will give them a go.
Very Mo-Dern cupcakes! Love me some chocolate art! Those are definitely fierce. Thanks for entering! Hope you had fun!

very cool!
Very nice, Jen!
Wow! Chocolate with some heat! That sounds awesome 🙂
Hi again! So, I think with the vanilla in this, minus the chocolate and the almond this might work well for preemie’s first birthday cake. Thanks for the help!
What a cool blend of flavors! It’s totally DIVA! And I love the chocolate swoop too!
Sounds awesome! Are the PB cups used in the recipe dairy-free? Are there PB cups dairy-free that exist?
How would you store these and for how long?
