3-Ingredient Pretzel Candy Clusters

I Tried to Eat Fewer Pretzel Treats. It Did Not Work.

If you've been following along, you already know I have a serious pretzel treat problem. I mentioned a while back that I literally cannot stop eating them once I start and honestly? Nothing has changed. But I had a thought: what if I made them bigger? Surely I'd eat fewer of them if each one was more substantial, right? Right??

So I got to experimenting. I started with four pretzels per treat, but next time I will try two, I think two pretzels will end up being the sweet spot, substantial enough to feel like a real treat, but still that perfect salty-sweet bite we all love.

And then came the game changer: a Cadbury Caramel chocolate on top🤯. I don't know why it took me this long to think of it, but the creamy caramel center melting into the warm pretzel base is just... I have no words. The M&Ms on top add a little crunch and color, and honestly make them look as good as they taste.

The verdict? I still cannot stop eating these. My plan completely backfired. But I regret nothing.

The best part is how easy and fun these are to make with kids. My little ones loved pressing the M&Ms into the warm chocolate, it's the kind of simple kitchen moment that turns into a core memory. Whether you're making these for a holiday treat tray, a party, or just a cozy afternoon at home, I promise they will disappear fast. You've been warned.
