Easy Holiday Cookie-Making with Little Kids

Little kids love to cook and help out in the kitchen, but during this time of year, it's not always feasible.

Here's a quick and easy treat little ones can help make that will wow everyone and make your little helpers feel special!

Pretzel Treats


Ingredients:

1. Bite size waffle shaped pretzels
   


2. Hershey's Kisses or Hugs
   


3. Whatever semi-hard candy you desire - M&Ms are most common
   

Heat oven to 170 degrees. Have your little helper set out the pretzels on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. If you have more than one helper, another one can open the Hershey's kisses at the same time. They can also take turns.

Top each pretzel with your unwrapped and hopefully uneatened Kiss or Hug.

Bake for 4 to 6 minutes (white chocolate melts more quickly), until the chocolates feel soft when touched with a wooden spoon.

Remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Little helpers can then press your hard candy of choice into the center of each Kiss or Hug.

Allow the treats to cool for a few minutes.

Place treats in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to set.

Enjoy!
