Preheat your oven to 200Β°F (93Β°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Arrange the mini pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place one Hershey's Hugs chocolate on top of each pretzel.
Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 4-5 minutes, or until the chocolates are soft but still hold their shape. Do not overbake.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one M&M candy onto the center of each softened Hershey's Hugs chocolate, gently pressing down to spread the chocolate.
Allow the Pretzel Hugs to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes, then transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes to fully set.
Once the chocolates are firm, store the Pretzel Hugs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
