A close-up view showing many small round snacks stacked on a wooden board. Each snack has three clear layers: the bottom layer is a brown pretzel with a shiny surface and salt grains, the middle layer is a smooth, dark chocolate dome filling the pretzel ring, and the top layer is a small white marshmallow placed firmly on the chocolate. The background is a white marbled texture. The lighting highlights the shiny texture of the chocolate and pretzel, while the soft marshmallows add a contrasting matte white shape.

Ingredients

48 round pretzels
48 Hershey’s Hot Cocoa (or Chocolate) Kisses
48 mini-marshmallows

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Arrange the round pretzels evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Unwrap the Hershey’s Kisses and place one in the center of each pretzel.
Step 5: Bake in the oven for 4 minutes, or until the chocolate begins to soften.
Step 6: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one mini-marshmallow into the center of each melted Kiss.
Step 7: Allow the bites to cool completely so the chocolate and marshmallow harden before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra gooey bites, try placing the pretzels under a broiler for 10–15 seconds instead of baking, but watch closely to avoid burning.
Use flavored Kisses like caramel or peppermint to add a fun twist.
If you prefer larger bites, substitute mini-marshmallows with regular marshmallows cut in half.

Storage

Store the s’mores pretzel bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep them away from heat to prevent the chocolate from melting. For longer storage, refrigerate up to one week; bring to room temperature before serving. Reheating is not recommended as marshmallows may lose their texture.

How to Serve

This image shows many small treats stacked close together. Each treat has three layers: a round pretzel base that is golden brown with visible salt crystals, a dark chocolate layer sitting neatly on top of the pretzel, smooth and shiny, and a white mini marshmallow placed in the center on top of the chocolate, soft and slightly squared. The treats fill the entire frame and sit on a white marbled surface, creating a warm and tasty look. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of pretzel?

Yes, small round pretzels work best to hold the chocolate and marshmallow, but you can experiment with other shapes. Just be sure they have a flat surface to keep the toppings stable.

What if I don’t have Hershey’s Kisses?

You can substitute with small pieces of your favorite chocolate bar. Just break the chocolate into bite-sized pieces and place them on the pretzels before baking.

Ingredients

48 Round Pretzels
48 Hersey’s Hot Cocoa (or Chocolate) Kisses
48 Mini-Marshmallows

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for gentle melting of the chocolate and marshmallows.
Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Arrange Pretzels: Evenly distribute 48 round pretzels on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Unwrap Chocolate: Unwrap 48 Hersey’s Hot Cocoa or Chocolate Kisses, using the same number as the pretzels to ensure each bite has one chocolate piece.
Place Chocolate on Pretzels: Place an unwrapped Kiss in the center of each pretzel, positioning them carefully to prevent sliding during baking.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 4 minutes, just enough to soften the chocolate.
Add Marshmallows: Immediately after removing the baking sheet from the oven, lightly press one mini-marshmallow into the center of each softened Kiss, allowing it to slightly melt and adhere.
Cool and Harden: Let the s’mores pretzel bites cool at room temperature until the chocolate and marshmallow harden, ensuring they hold their shape when handled.

Notes

Do not overbake to avoid melting the pretzels completely or burning the chocolate.
You can substitute Hersey’s Kisses with any chocolate of your choice, such as milk, dark, or semi-sweet chocolate.
For a festive touch, use colored mini-marshmallows or add sprinkles on top immediately after pressing the marshmallow.
Store finished bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days for best texture.
