Flower Pretzel Bites: Easy Easter Dessert Recipe
Need an easy Easter dessert or spring snack idea? These Flower Pretzel Bites are as delicious as they are pretty. This pretzel snack recipe requires only three ingredients (white candy melts, waffle pretzels, and pastel M&Ms) to make the perfect combination of sweet and salty that will satisfy everyone’s taste buds.
Ingredients
- Wilton White Candy Melts – These melt beautifully and act as the “glue” for your flower petals.
- Waffle Pretzels – Look for square-shaped ones big enough to hold your design.
- Pastel M&Ms – Perfect for creating colorful blooms.
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep Your Workspace
- Preheat your oven to 250°F . Line your baking pan with parchment paper. Think of this as setting the stage for your snack masterpiece.
- Step 2: Arrange the Pretzels
- Place the waffle pretzels on the parchment paper in a single layer. No overlapping allowed—it’s like giving each flower its own personal space.
- Step 3: Add the Candy Melts
- Put one white candy melt on top of each pretzel. Imagine them as tiny blank canvases waiting to transform into something magical.
- Step 4: Melt It Down
- Pop the pan into the oven for about three minutes , or until the candy melts are soft and gooey. Keep an eye on it—you don’t want to overdo it!
- Step 5: Create Your Flowers
- Once the melts are melted, take the pan out. Place one M&M in the center of each pretzel, then surround it with six more M&Ms in a circle. Voilà—you’ve created edible flowers!
- Step 6: Chill Out
- Stick the pan in the fridge for about 15 minutes to let the chocolate set. Patience pays off here, my friend.
- Step 7: Enjoy!
- Once cooled, dig in! These Easter pretzel snacks are perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself. We won’t tell.
Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Make Ahead: Can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
