These 3-Ingredient Spring Flower Pretzel Bites are a sweet no-bake springtime treat: salty pretzels topped with white chocolate and pastel M&M candies! Best of all, it comes together in minutes with just three simple ingredients:

(Specific measurements and full recipe instructions are found below)

• pretzel snaps: these square, grid-shaped pretzels serve as the crunchy and salty "garden bed" for the treat. The structure makes for a perfect flat base to hold the melted chocolate and candies in place.
• white chocolate melting wafers: acts as the "glue"for the flower assembly. Once slightly softened in the oven, they provide a smooth, creamy sweetness that balances the saltiness of the pretzel while securing the candy petals in place.
• Pastel M&M Candies: these create the vibrant "petals" and "centers" of your edible flowers. They add a pop of springtime color and a classic milk chocolate crunch to every bite, transforming a simple snack into a festive blooming garden. Use different colors for other holidays!

You will also need a baking sheet and parchment paper.

Arrange 36 pretzels* on a baking sheet with parchment paper (or silicone baking mat). Of course, the pretzels aren't going to stick, but the lining helps to make any clean-up a whole lot easier.

*Keep in mind that you will have to work very quickly to assemble the flowers. So, if you prefer, you can work in smaller batches of 12 pretzels at a time.

Top each pretzel with a single white chocolate melting wafer on top of each pretzel. Bake the pretzels for 2 minutes, or until the chocolate is softened. Keep a close eye on the chocolate so that you don't melt it too much. If the chocolate melts, it will seep out the pretzel holes!

Separate the M&Ms into colors. For each flower, you will need one color for the center, and 6 of a different color for the "petals". After removing the pretzels from the oven, IMMEDIATELY center the single color M&M on top of each chocolate circle. Surround the center M&M with the 6 "petals", gently pressing them into place.

If the chocolate starts to harden too much before you're done assembling the flowers, don't panic. Remove the finished flowers from the baking sheet and then place the unfinished pretzels back into the oven to re-soften the chocolate.

Allow the flower pretzel bites to cool completely. Sit them out at room temperature for 2-30 minutes, or quicken the process by refrigerating for 10 minutes.

Once cooled, serve and enjoy or package up a "bouquet" to share with friends and family!

3-Ingredient Spring Flower Pretzel Bites

Servings: 36 treats
Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients:

• 36 Snyder's Snaps Pretzels
• 36 white chocolate melting wafers or candy melts
• 38 oz pastel M&M candies

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 250º F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Place 36 pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
   
4. Place one white chocolate melting wafer on the center of each pretzel.
5. Bake the pretzels for 2 minutes or until the chocolate is softened, but not melted completely.
6. While the chocolate is still warm, immediately place one M&M in the center and then surround it with 6 more M&Ms of a different color for the flower petals. Repeat for the remaining pretzels.
7. Let pretzels sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to let the chocolate harden. To speed up the process, refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Storage:

• Store cooled treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.

Tips:

• Half, double, or triple the recipe as needed, depending on how much you’d like to make.
• Do not bake the pretzels for too long, otherwise the chocolate will completely melt and fall through the holes of the pretzel. You want it to stay on top so that it holds the M&Ms in place.
• Keep in mind that you will have to work very quickly to assemble the flowers. So, if you prefer, you can work in smaller batches of 12 at a time.
• If the melting wafers set before you finish making the flowers, pop the unfinished one pretzels back into the oven until the melts are softened again. Do not place any finished flowers into the oven, otherwise the M&Ms can crack.
• Avoid using peanut butter or peanut M&Ms since they will be too large.

Variations:

• You can use any colored M&Ms that you'd like, especially to make for other holidays!
• Instead of pretzel snaps, you can use regular pretzels or pretzel waffles (round).
