Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces pretzel rings (or mini pretzel twists)
- 30 pieces milk chocolate candy melts (or chocolate kisses)
- 30 pieces colorful candy-coated chocolates (like M&Ms or Skittles)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Arrange the pretzel rings or mini pretzel twists in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.
Place one chocolate candy melt or chocolate kiss in the center of each pretzel.
Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 3-4 minutes, or until the chocolate is soft but retains its shape. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one colorful candy-coated chocolate into the center of each softened chocolate piece. Gently push down so the chocolate spreads slightly but stays within the pretzel.
Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.
Once the chocolate is firm, transfer the 'Elves Belly Buttons' to a serving dish or an airtight container for storage. Enjoy!
