Bite-size, waffle-shaped pretzels
Hershey's Kiss or Hershey's Hug (we preferred the hugs)
M&M's candy

ButterSnaps are my favorite pretzels! These are the kind I used.

1. Heat the oven to 170F. Set a number of bite-size, waffle-shaped pretzels (one for each treat) in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, then top each pretzel with an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss or Hershey's Hug (I think the peppermint kisses for Christmas would be good too).

2. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes (I did 7min) (the white chocolate will melt more quickly), until the chocolates feel soft when touched with a wooden spoon. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and quickly press an M&M's candy into the center of each Kiss.

3. Allow the treats to cool for a few minutes, then place them in the refrigerator to set, about 10 minutes. Place handfuls of the candies in clear plastic bags and tie on colorful ribbons.
