Kiss your M&M Buttons

These were easy, cute, and done almost entirely by the kids.  I was only required to operate the oven and hot pads!  And, in the 3rd trimester of #3, that's a good thing.

Also, they were a huge hit at the school party, and used ingredients entirely from the pantry.

Square pretzels
Hershey's Kisses (we had a variety from a trip to the store in Hershey, PA.  The Aero ones didn't work very well)
Holiday-themed M&Ms

Line a baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat.  Preheat oven to 175F.  Line up pretzels, put a Hershey's kiss on each one.  Put in oven for 4-5 minutes, until kisses are glossy and soft.  Take out and gently press a M&M to the top.

Chocolate Covered Pretzels

2 cups chocolate chips (my faves are Ghiradelli 60% cocoa)
1 tbs butter
1 package thick pretzel rods.

Melted the chocolate and butter in a big coffee mug in the microwave, stirring every minute. Dipped in the pretzel rods and a couple strawberries. Had a hard time getting the chocolate to stick in a thick layer. Messy but tasty, and really fun to do with the kids. Will ate most of them when he got home from work.
