Easter Bunny Pretzel Treats (2024)

Prep The M&Ms

Begin by cutting some of the M&Ms in half. It’s easiest to use a small, sharp knife that does not have a serrated edge. Place the knife on top of the M&M and press straight down for a clean cut.

For each treat, you will need 1 whole M&M and 2 M&M halves. Sort them by color so it will be easy to find what you need after you melt the candy.

Melt the Candy Melts

Lay pretzel snaps out on a microwave safe plate – a paper plate works great. Top each pretzel with one white candy melt. Microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds at a time until the candy is soft and somewhat melted. This will probably only take a minute or a bit more total. You want the candy to be soft enough to press an M&M into it, but not so melty that it’s dripping through the pretzel.

Add the Bunnies

Working quickly, drop a whole M&M onto each pretzel, then add two M&M halves to make ears. Gently press the M&Ms into the melty candy. If some of the candy melts set up before you are able to add the bunny, simply move those pretzels to another paper plate and microwave again at 50% power for 30 seconds at a time until soft.

Draw Faces (Optional)

Allow candy melts to set up completely – this should only take about 15 minutes. Then you can draw on two dots for eyes and a tiny “X” for a nose if you’d like to. Be aware the food marker needs a couple of minutes to dry before you touch the pretzels again or the ink may smear.
