Ingredients

• 2 cups mini pretzels
• 36 pieces chocolate candies (e.g., chocolate kisses or chocolate melts)
• 36 pieces candy-coated chocolates (e.g., mini M&Ms or other small candies)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Spread the mini pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

Step 3

Place one chocolate candy (e.g., a chocolate kiss) on top of each pretzel.

Step 4

Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the chocolate candies are just softened but still hold their shape.

Step 5

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press a candy-coated chocolate into the center of each softened chocolate candy, gently flattening it onto the pretzel.

Step 6

Allow the Group Hugs to cool completely at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate has fully set.

Step 7

Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the treats to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
