How to make flower pretzels
Preheat your oven to 250°F (93°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place pretzels on the baking sheet (36 per sheet)
Add a white chocolate melt in the center of each one.
Bake for about 3-4 minutes until the chocolate is soft but not fully melted. Remove from the oven and immediately press one M&M in the center and six M&Ms around it to form a flower.
Let the pretzels cool completely so the chocolate hardens. You can speed this up by placing them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
Time to share
These colorful treats pair well with other springtime snacks like fruit trays, sugar cookies, or cupcakes.
They also make a great addition to Easter baskets or dessert platters for spring gatherings.

Store these flower pretzel bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you need to keep them longer, refrigerate them for up to two weeks.
Helpful Tips
- Use parchment paper for easy clean up.
- Work quickly when placing the M&Ms so the chocolate doesn’t harden before you finish the flowers.
- Try different colors to match holidays or party themes.
- For aesthetics place the m and m's logo side down.
FAQs
Yes! White chocolate creates a bright background for the M&Ms, but milk or dark chocolate works too.
You can also melt the chocolate melts in the microwave and assemble the flowers that way.
M&Ms work best because of their size and color variety. It does have to be the Brand M&M. Similar shaped candies or even Easter eggs can work.
They stay fresh for up to a week, so they’re great for prepping ahead.
Absolutely! Just switch up the M&M colors for different occasions. Like red, white and blue for patriotic pretzel flowers, or red white and pink for Valentine flower pretzels.
