M&M Flower Pretzels

It is satisfying to making these flower pretzels—they’re straightforward, satisfying, and reliable for adding a fun Spring touch to desserts like a dirt cake.

The sweet and salty combo is unbeatable, just like another favorite treat—turtles!

Here’s What You’ll Need

You’ll only need three ingredients to make M&M Flower Pretzels:

Ingredient	Tips & Swaps
Pretzel Snaps	Use snap-style pretzels for a flat, sturdy base. Avoid twists. Mini waffle pretzels also work.
White Candy Melts	Use a quality brand for smooth melting. Ghirardelli melts beautifully. Melting wafers work too, but flavor is slightly less rich.
Pastel M&M’s	Spring pastel is a reliable, but you can swap for red and pink for Valentine’s Day, red and green for Christmas, or school colors for parties.

Quick Tip

Use leftover pretzel snaps in Leprechaun Thumbprints or Peppermint Bark Pretzels!

Recipe Tips

These M&M Flower Pretzels are straightforward to make, but here are a few tips:

• Line Pan: Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
• Quick Assembly: Have your M&M’s ready before removing the pretzels from the oven, as the candy melts set quickly.
• Switch Colors: Mix and match M&M colors to create fun, themed flowers for special occasions or holidays.
• Hide the “M”: Place M&M’s with the “M” side down for a cleaner look.

Ingredients

• 10 pretzel snaps
• 10 white chocolate melting wafers
• 70 pastel M&M’s (10 for centers, 60 for petals)

Method

1. Heat oven to 250°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking liner.
2. Arrange the 10 snap pretzels in rows on the baking sheet. Place 1 candy melt on top of each pretzel.
3. Place in the oven for 2–3 minutes, just until the candy melts are softened but not fully melted. Watch closely as oven heats can vary.
4. Pull from oven and quickly place 1 M&M in the center of each candy melt and surround it with 6 M&M’s to create flower petals. Gently press them down to secure them. For a clean look, place the M&M’s with the “M” side facing down.
5. Allow the pretzels to cool completely before serving. Speed this process up by popping the tray in the fridge.
