We love these pretzel "hugs". Couldn't be easier and they are just so good. I usually put 4 M&M's on each one, but I think these looked kind of cupcake-ish with just one little M&M!
In response to the comment from Anonymous: Here is the recipe. Place mini pretzels on a baking sheet. I use square "waffle" pretzels, but regular pretzel shapes or circles would work too. Place an unwrapped Hershey's Hug on each pretzel. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes at 250 degrees. DO NOT BAKE THEM ANY LONGER!!! Place M&M on top of the Hug. The Hug will be very, very soft so you have to be careful not to make a big mess. Now comes the hard part. Leave them alone for many hours while the chocolate sets up. It takes quite a long time. I don't recommend putting them in the frig because it will discolor the M&M's. Yummy!!!Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and let your little ones "help" even when you know it will end up making more work for you and might even affect the end result. This is a perfect example. Yes there was paint everywhere. Yes, in the right light you can still see some of their handiwork. BUT, they loved every minute of helping and they are proud to show off the new paint job. That, my friends, makes it all worth it. I know it looks white, but it's actually a very creamy shade of yellow which I LOVE!
And this just makes me laugh. We have a costume for every conceivable scenario. On this particular day, they were obviously pirates. Don't you love it when your kids play nicely together. I'm sure this only lasted for a few minutes until one of them stabbed the other with their sword.

How about sharing the ingredients of your cookies?
Cute pictures and those candies look SO adorable!!!
After reading that you could still see some of the boys handiwork on the walls, it mademe wonder if the current occupants of Randolph 101 can see "I love Bob Bender" when the light hits the wall at just the right angle
For Maureen--I was thinking that EXACT same thing when these two were painting. Our foolishness is how I know that even when you paint over writing, it still shows up! Ahhh, the good old days!
goodies look good. I think you're right about kids helping and it making more work for you in the end. I think it gives the kids a sense of importance or rather a role in the family!!
