These are great! I also make them with rolos and top it with a pecan half! Same time and temp..
I used a 200 degree oven for 5 minutes, which worked but kisses were a smidge too soft. I will adjust temp/time on next batch,
The oven temperature of 175 was perfect. I make these every year, and low and slow keeps the chocolate from blooming. They look great after storing them a few days.
It doesn’t melt the kisses enough to smooth them much. A little longer time is necessary for a flatter more even bite
Be careful these are super addictive and before you know it, you ate them all!!! Our favorite, and a great recipe to help keep kids busy!
Love these and came out perfect. Can do dark chocolate kisses and dark mms!
Simple and delicious! Peanut butter lovers try it with peanut butter m&m’s. It’s my favorite
I love this recipe and use a variety of kisses {or Hugs} and coated candies to top with. I find my oven needs to be set for 200F and 4-5 minutes to get the kisses melty enough to squish through the pretzels, especially the dark chocolate ones. I’m sure this is due to everyone’s oven and elevation being different so do what works for you. 175F is a great place to start. You can add more heat and time, not less.
Super easy and everyone loves them!
It was soooo good. It’s a fun snack. Not only that you can alway change out what choclate to use and make it peppermint or dark.
FIVE STARS for Taste but taking off a stars for Temp and Time!! Like everyone else here I tried the 175 for 2-3 min. The Kiss was still hard. I kept putting them in for 1 min and taking out. SEVERAL TIMES. The 2nd Batch were slightly better. I turned the Stove up to 300 on Convect. It was a total guess but it worked. They weren’t shiny so I didn’t think they were ready. They were. I quickly put the M&M’s on the top and pressed them down. They are NOT the prettiest candies but they taste fabulous. They took hours to harden. I left them in my Kitchen Table for 6 hours then put them in a Plastic Container with a Top. Next time I’ll try the LOW AND SLOW APPROACH. I think I’ll try 175 for 6 min. GOOD LUCK !
I have made these for multiple Christmas’s, I came here just to check what temperature I needed to bake these at. This recipe says 175 degrees. Like other reviewers said the chocolate never melts and just becomes crumbly. This ruined a whole cookie sheet for me. Make sure your oven temp is higher, I did 350 degrees for my second sheet after looking up a different recipe and they came out perfect.
waaaaaay longer than 2 minutes in the oven. took me about six. good recipe overall.
I make these whenever I get a sweet/salty craving. The beauty of this recipe is you can make a little or a lot. I have also made them using a Rolo candy instead of a Hershey kiss. The caramel in the Rolo is yummy!
Easy treat to make. Unwrapping the kisses took the most time. I only used about 60 pretzels because that was all the kisses I had. The kisses didn’t get soft enough in 2 minutes and had to do it for about 5 minutes at 175 degrees. It is key to refrigerate them so the chocolate can get solid again.
I have made this using Rolo’s caramels instead of Kisses and they were great.
Easy recipe, but took 6 min for kisses to soften.
So easy to make. We found that five minutes in the oven was the perfect amount of time. And needed a little more time in the fridge to cool, but otherwise pretty true to the recipe. Delicious!
The only thing correct was the ingredients. 2 minutes at 175 did not melt the chocolates nearly enough.
I found 6 minutes at 175 to be the best cook time for me! Thanks for the recipe so easy, delicious and a perfect treat for sharing with friends and family!!
I followed this recipe exactly, and after a minute or so in the oven, i take a peek, and…burnt. Had to put it outside for a few minutes because it was setting off the smoke alarm. I have an oven thermometer, so I know it was the right temperature. Not sure what happened there 🙁
