Lots of baking!

Last week, I had 100 decorated cookies to bake/decorate, 100 Hershey Kisses Pretzel snacks to make, and 24 cupcakes for Hannah and Noah’s class for the last day of school. Also 24 ribbons and tags to tie onto 24 suckers and teacher gifts to put together! Phew!

Hershey Pretzel Bites:

Ingredients:

Bite-size, waffle-shaped pretzels
Hershey's Kiss or Hershey's Hug
M&M's candy {totally forgot these. oops}
Instructions:
1. Heat the oven to 170F. Set a number of bite-size, waffle-shaped pretzels (one for each treat) in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, then top each pretzel with an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss or Hershey's Hug.
2. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes (the white chocolate will melt more quickly), until the chocolates feel soft when touched with a wooden spoon. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and quickly press an M&M's candy into the center of each Kiss.
3. Allow the treats to cool for a few minutes, then place them in the refrigerator to set, about 10 minutes. Place handfuls of the candies in clear plastic bags and tie on colorful ribbons.
