Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the mini pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Place one chocolate candy (e.g., a chocolate kiss) on top of each pretzel.
Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the chocolate candies are just softened but still hold their shape.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press a candy-coated chocolate into the center of each softened chocolate candy, gently flattening it onto the pretzel.
Allow the Group Hugs to cool completely at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate has fully set.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the treats to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
