Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Square pretzel snaps or mini pretzel twists
- 24 Milk chocolate kisses or white chocolate peppermint “hugs”
- 1/4 cup Festive Christmas sprinkles (red, green, and white)
- 24 Red and green candy-coated chocolate pieces (M&Ms)
- Parchment paper (cut to fit your air fryer basket)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Air Fryer Basket
Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of your air fryer basket. Ensure the paper does not cover the entire bottom; leave a small gap around the edges to allow for proper air circulation. Do not place the parchment paper in the air fryer during preheating, as it can fly up into the heating element and burn. - Step 2: Assemble the Pretzel Base
Lay the pretzels in a single layer on the parchment paper inside the air fryer basket. Place one chocolate kiss or “hug” in the center of each pretzel. Make sure they are standing upright and spaced slightly apart so they do not stick together once the chocolate begins to soften. - Step 3: Soften the Chocolate
Slide the basket into the air fryer and set the temperature to 300°F (150°C). Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. You are not looking to melt the chocolate into a liquid; you simply want it to look shiny and feel soft to the touch. Check them at the 2-minute mark to ensure they don’t overcook. - Step 4: Decorate and Set
Carefully remove the basket from the air fryer. Immediately press a candy-coated chocolate piece into the center of each softened chocolate kiss, flattening it slightly. While the chocolate is still warm, shake your festive sprinkles over the top. Let the treats sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, or place the entire parchment sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set the chocolate firmly.
