“Reeses Pieces Pretzel Hugs”

I’d say we need some hoilday family fun this Thanksgiving. Grab the kids or any adult and make these Reeses Pieces Pretzel Hugs. One bite has that salty sweet thing going on and kids will have a blast. Just keep the kids away from the hot oven and pan when it first comes from the oven. All you need is three ingredients like snaps square pretzels, Hershey’s hugs and Reeses pieces candy.

Placing pretzels on the pan is a great job for the kids. Then have them place the hugs on top of each pretzel. Mom and Dad’s place pan in oven for the kiddos. I will say use caution with kids around the pan when it first comes from the oven. The pan is large enough little hands should be alright with supervision. The candy will remain warm for some time giving you enough time to place Reese’s candy on melted hugs.

Let the candy it at room temperature for candy to firm up or place in refrigerator for 15 – 20 minutes. Store candy in an airtight container for at least a week. Should you decide to share at work, use snack bags for individual portions. Have fun with these little candies. The peanut butter and chocolate is a fabulous combination as we all know and the pretzel just adds that little extra.
