—Kristen Jones, District Five Youth Counselor a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the square pretzels evenly separated on the prepared baking sheet. Next, place a white candy melt on each of the pretzels. Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 2 minutes or until the candies are slightly melted. You want to avoid melting them to a point where they melt through the pretzel. Remove them from the oven and place the Easter M&M’s on the softened white candy melt in a circular flower pedal design. Choose your favorite color combo. Allow the pretzel bites to dry for at least 30 minutes or until the candy is hardened. Serve on your favorite platter.

Tips for Flower Pretzel Bites

✓ Be sure to work quickly while decorating these spring flower pretzel bites so that the candy does not set before you place the M&M’s. If you are making these by yourself, work in batches and melt the candy 8-10 pretzels at a time.

✓ Don’t overheat the candy melts! You want them to be just softened, not melted enough that they are dripping through the pretzel. https://kidsactivityzone.com/flower-pretzels/ —SPJST—

✓ Separate your M&M’s into colors before you decorate so you can easily find the color you are looking for.
