24 circular mini pretzels
24 milk chocolate candy kisses
1 package of m&m's
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pretzels on baking sheet. Unwrap candy kisses and place one in the center of each pretzel. Place in preheated oven for 1 to 2 minutes, until kisses melt. Remove from oven and place one m & m in the center of each pretzel. Chill in refrigerator until set.
(I always have to make more than 24. I fill up a baking sheet with as many as I can fit. You can also make these into Chocolate Turtles by melting a Rollo chocolate on each pretzel and then pressing a pecan half on top.)
