More Christmas Cheer

I love baking-- and Christmas wouldn't be the same without tasty goodies.  Well, that's not true, but I certainly enjoy the treats that come with the season.  With little children (and little time!), I need recipes that are simple and worth the effort.  Last year I found these in an old Family Fun magazine and they were such a hit, we decided on an encore for this years' cookie list.
 
Holiday Pretzel Treats

Preheat oven to 250 degrees (yes, 250). Put a single layer of bite-sized pretzels on a baking pan.  Top each pretzel with an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss.


Bake for 5 minutes, or until chocolates feel soft when touched with a wooden spoon.


Remove baking pan from the oven and quickly place a red or green plain M & M into the center of each Kiss.


Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then allow to see for 1 hour in the refrigerator (or eat warm!).
