These flower pretzel bites are a fun little Spring snack idea that kids of all ages can help to make – and then enjoy!
Honestly, we don’t consume a lot of sugar around here. Mainly because several years ago, after baby number 3 was born, we took our kids off dairy and most sugar. They had been sick frequently with ear infections and our naturopath suggested that might help. Sure enough they got better. Over time we’ve become a little more lax with it just because they’ve grown up a lot and don’t get sick as often as when they were younger. Especially when the weather finally starts to get warmer and cold and flu season have passed. Like at Easter! So we thought these flower pretzel bites would be fun to make together for a spring snack idea.
We’re happy to be joining the Seasonal Simplicity series hosted by The Happy Housie. You will find all the yummy recipes and links at the end of this post.
Flower Pretzel Bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup Square pretzels
- 1/2 cup Pastel M&M's
- White candy melts
Instructions
- Place 8 pretzels on a microwavable plate or paper plate. Place a candy melt on the center of the pretzel. Microwave until candy melt gets soft. About 55 seconds.
- Arrange m&m's to look like a flower placing the “M” side down.
- Let sit for about ten minutes. Repeat for as many pretzel bites as you'd like.
Notes
You could make these with gluten free pretzels if you're sensitive to wheat or gluten!
