Ingredients

One of our favorite things about this recipe is how easy it is!

PRETZELS A bag of bite-sized pretzels is called for but feel free to use pretzel twists or other shapes and sizes of pretzels.

PEPPERMINT KISSES White candy cane kisses are delicious but you really can make these with any kind of kisses (or chocolates).

MILK CHOCOLATE Dipping chocolate and some crushed peppermint candies make are perfect for dipping pretzels. Dark chocolate can be substituted as well!
