2. Place a Hershey’s kiss on each pretzel and pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds. Let them cool for a minute then put them back in for 15 second intervals. You don’t want to keep them in the microwave for too long or you will burn your precious kisses.

3. Once the chocolate is soft enough, place an M&M on each kiss and then into the freezer or fridge they go.
