So, I hear there’s this football game coming up. The Wonderbowl? No wait…that’s not it. The Splendidbowl? No no. That’s not it either.
Forgive me while I amuse myself over here.
I could care less about football. I do, however, join the millions of people who look forward to the Super Bowl. Clearly not for the game, though…show me those funny commercials and pass me the chicken wings. Woot!
Or, pass me a bowl of these babies. The perfect sweet and salty combo. And so easy to make, it’s ridiculous. Plus you can assemble as few or as many to accommodate the size of your crowd.
Here’s the catch. I searched high and low for these round pretzel rings and couldn’t find them anywhere near my house. I even had trouble finding them online. But I’m tenacious and don’t give up easily. When I found them, I bought…a lot.
And you all get to benefit from my desperation.

Superbowl Pretzel Rings
Makes as many as you want!
Prep time: 10 minutes/per 50
Cook time: 2 minutes
Cooling time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
• Round pretzels
• Hershey kisses (I used milk chocolate)
• M&M’s
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place kisses on baking sheet and drop a pretzel ring over each one.
Pop them in the oven for 2 minutes. (Just until they get soft, but not until they melt. You want them to retain their shape.) As soon as they come out of the oven, gently place an M&M on top of the kiss and push down slightly to fill the pretzel with chocolate.
Stick the baking sheet in the refrigerator until they firm up. Store in an airtight container.

Gotta try these! Just sound unbelievably simple but tasty!
It?s going to be end of mine day, but before ending I am reading this fantastic article to increase my experience.
amy – found your blog as i was looking for the pretzels rings as well. i finally received them tonight and the rings look large. one kiss fits inside? thanks very much.

Hi Ann – I couldn’t exactly say without seeing what you have, since there are different makers/brands. I buy Ballreich’s and the inside of the ring is about 1 inch. The kiss should fit with a little bit of room around it. Once cooked for the 2 minutes, it will fill up the hole after you press the M&M down gently.
I need this kind of pretzel soon. Where can I get them in or close to Lincoln,NE?
Greetings Pat – I’m in CA and couldn’t even find them at my local stores. I ordered them online from Ballreich http://www.ballreich.com/shop/snacks.html#RINGS
I bet these are awesome. I make something very simular. I use smal regular pretzels and put a rollo on top, then in the oven just long enough for the rollo to melt into the prtezel. Yummy! We will give these a try as well, I know they will be great!
Your version sounds great too :D
THis giveaway is over ,i guess , but am happy to find u r lovely blog and these are honestly sooo super cute!
Ha ha , i am happy u amused urself with that and me too:-)
And oh these babies are cute , if i may repeat :-)
I got my pretzles and made these in green and gold (Go Pack Go!). Instead of regular M&M’s, I used peanut butter M&M’s. They were gone within minutes! Thank you for the great recipe ~ and for sending me the pretzles :)
YAY! And your team won. How awesome. Great idea with the peanut M&Ms. You could use different kisses, too. The possibilities are practically endless!
