With Memorial Day and Fourth of July around the corner, it’s time to add a patriotic twist to your snack game. What better way to celebrate than with delicious and festive Patriotic Pretzel Bites? These bite-sized treats are not only quick + easy to make but also a perfect addition to any patriotic celebration. Let’s dive into how you can create these colorful and tasty snacks right in your own kitchen.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Preparation: Start by gathering all your ingredients and arranging your pretzel snaps flat on a microwave-safe plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Melting the Candy: Place one white candy melt in the center of each pretzel snap. If using a microwave, heat them for about 15-20 seconds until the candy begins to melt. Alternatively, you can preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and place the pretzels in for several minutes, monitoring closely until the candy melts slightly.
Adding M&M's: Once the candy melts are slightly melted, it’s time to add the colorful touch of red, white, and blue. Grab your red, white, and blue M&M's and place one in the center of each pretzel snap where the candy melt is. Then, start arranging more M&M's around the center to create a full circle, resembling a flower.
Optional Designs: Get creative with your designs! If you have mini M&M's, you can make adorable red, white, and blue Mickeys. Simply place a larger M&M in the center and add two mini M&M's on top to the side to create the iconic Mickey Mouse face shape.
Let Them Set: Allow the Patriotic Pretzel Bites to set and cool completely before serving. You can speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
Serve and Enjoy: Once set, arrange your Patriotic Pretzel Bites on a serving platter and watch as they disappear within minutes! These colorful and tasty treats are sure to be a hit at any Memorial Day or Fourth of July gathering.

Tips and Tricks:

Experiment with different designs and patterns using the M&M's to add variety to your Patriotic Pretzel Bites.
If you don’t have white candy melts, you can use white chocolate chips or even vanilla frosting as a substitute.
Get the kids involved! Making Patriotic Pretzel Bites is a fun and easy activity for the whole family to enjoy together.
