Ingredients
- 48 Round Pretzels
- 48 Hershey’s Hot Cocoa (or Chocolate) Kisses
- 48 Mini-Marshmallows
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for gentle melting of the chocolate without burning.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange pretzels: Evenly distribute 48 round pretzels on the parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart.
- Unwrap chocolate: Carefully unwrap 48 Hershey’s Hot Cocoa or Chocolate Kisses, matching the number of pretzels laid out.
- Place chocolate on pretzels: Position one unwrapped Kiss in the center of each pretzel, ready to melt.
- Bake the bites: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 4 minutes, allowing the chocolate to soften but not fully melt or burn.
- Add mini marshmallows: Immediately after removing the pan from the oven, lightly press one mini marshmallow on top of each warm chocolate Kiss to slightly melt it and adhere the marshmallow to the chocolate.
- Cool and set: Allow the assembled S’mores Pretzel Bites to cool completely until the chocolate and marshmallow harden, creating a deliciously cohesive treat.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top before cooling.
- You can substitute Hershey’s Kisses with any other chocolate bite or chunks as desired.
- Use mini or regular-sized marshmallows, but mini marshmallows work best for bite-sized treats.
- Ensure not to overbake to prevent chocolate burning and marshmallows melting too much.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
