Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 bag of square pretzels (about 12-15 pretzels)
- 1 small bag of Ghirardelli white chocolate melting chocolates (about 8 oz)
- 1 bag of mini M&M’s (green and reds removed, using only other colors) – approximately 30 pieces
- 1 bag of regular M&M’s (green and reds removed, using only other colors) – approximately 12 pieces
- 1 cookie sheet fitted with parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for melting the chocolate on the pretzels.
- Arrange Pretzels: Place the unbroken square pretzels on the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper in neat rows to ensure they don’t touch while melting the chocolate.
- Add White Chocolate: Place one white chocolate melting chip in the center of each pretzel square. This will act as the base to hold the M&Ms.
- Melt Chocolate: Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes or just until the white chocolate begins to soften and slightly melt. Be careful not to overheat to avoid burning.
- Remove & Cool Slightly: Take the baking sheet out of the oven and place it on the counter. Let the pretzels cool very briefly but while the chocolate is still soft.
- Add Mickey’s Face: Quickly place one regular-sized M&M in the center of each melted white chocolate disk to form Mickey’s face before the chocolate hardens.
- Add Mickey’s Ears: Add two mini M&Ms above the regular M&M on each pretzel to resemble Mickey’s ears, creating his iconic silhouette.
- Set and Harden: Allow the pretzels to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes so the chocolate can fully harden and secure the M&M candies in place.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, your Mickey Mouse Pretzels are ready to be enjoyed as a fun snack or party treat!
Notes
- For best results, use only unbroken square pretzels to create consistent shapes.
- Removing green and red M&Ms is optional but suggested for a specific color theme.
- If you want faster setting, refrigerate the pretzels for 10 minutes after placing the M&Ms.
- These treats should be stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Feel free to substitute white chocolate melting wafers with white chocolate chips, but watch melting time closely.
