Team Eats: Audrey's Chocolate Pretzel Buttons

These are one of Audrey's favorite treats to make for Valentine's Day!  If you have a showing in February, leaving a bowl of these Valentine's-Themed Chocolate Pretzel Buttons on your counter for potential buyers to enjoy would be a nice touch!

What you'll need:

• Square or regular pretzels
• Hershey's Hugs or Kisses
• Valentines M&Ms

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 200°. (If your oven runs hot you may want to turn the temp down to 170°.)

• Place the pretzels on & top with the hugs. 

• Bake for 4-5 minutes until the chocolate is shiny and soft (but NOT melting - they should still hold their shape). 

• Carefully place an M&M in the center of each hug and press it down to spread the chocolate. 

• Allow to cool completely (a few minutes in the fridge works perfectly) and enjoy!
