Ingredients

11 ounces waffle pretzels or small twist pretzels
9 ounces Hershey's Kisses
10 ounces milk chocolate M&Ms mint or dark chocolate M&Ms work too

Instructions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Lay out several rows of pretzels. You can use the mini twist or the waffle shaped pretzels.
Unwrap Hershey's Kisses and set them on top of the pretzels.
Put them in the oven for at least 3 minutes. Test if they are ready by pushing an M&M in the middle of one of the Kisses. If it doesn't go straight down as the Kiss collapses into itself, it's not ready.
Press a M&M candy into the middle of each candy.
Let candy set for several hours so that the Hershey kisses can re-harden. To speed up the process, put the pan in the refrigerator until the kisses are hard.

Notes

Be creative. Try different flavors of Hersey Kisses and M&Ms.
Make these fit any holiday by switching in Christmas, Halloween, 4th of July or any other special-colored M&Ms.
Circle pretzels can be hard to find. Try waffle shaped or regular small twists.
Do not walk away from the oven when making these pretzel chocolate M&M treats. The chocolate will burn if you leave it in the oven for more than a few minutes.
These will need to sit out for a few hours to harden back up. To speed this up, put the finished pan in the refrigerator.
Another great option is to use a Rolo candy instead of a Hershey Kiss. Then press a pecan right in the center. Yum!
