Ingredients
- 30 pieces pretzel rings (or mini pretzel twists)
- 30 pieces milk chocolate candy melts (or chocolate kisses)
- 30 pieces colorful candy-coated chocolates (like M&Ms or Skittles)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 3
Arrange the pretzel rings or mini pretzel twists in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.
Step 4
Place one chocolate candy melt or chocolate kiss in the center of each pretzel.
Step 5
Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 3-4 minutes, or until the chocolate is soft but retains its shape. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one colorful candy-coated chocolate into the center of each softened chocolate piece. Gently push down so the chocolate spreads slightly but stays within the pretzel.
Step 7
Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.
Step 8
Once the chocolate is firm, transfer the 'Elves Belly Buttons' to a serving dish or an airtight container for storage. Enjoy!
