Easy St. Patrick’s Day Treats: Pretzel, Hershey Kiss, M&M Three Leaf Clover Recipe
Three Leaf Clovers Chocolate Pretzel Ingredients:
- 1 bag of Hershey Kisses
- Green M&Ms (You may have to pick them out of a regular bag of M&M candy)
- 1 bag of pretzel knots (mini pretzels, not large pretzels)
- ½ cup Confectioner’s Sugar
- Green food coloring
- ¼ stick of butter
- 2 teaspoons of milk
Besides the ingredients, you will need a cookie sheet and you will want to line it with wax paper or parchment paper. This makes cleaning up after making your m&m pretzel kisses a cinch.
