tips for making hershey kiss pretzels perfectly every time

  • Be sure not to overbake the chocolate. Keep a close eye on the Hershey Kisses when they are in the oven. You want the kisses to be shiny and begin to lose their shape.
  • The lower the temperature the better. The chocolate doesn’t like high heat as they will dry out and overbake in the oven. At this point, the batch will be ruined and you’ll have to start over as there is no way to save them. Nobody likes burnt chocolate!
  • If you have to make a lot of these Hershey Pretzels, make them in batches. The chocolate begins to firm back up rather quickly after removing from the oven, so you need to work fast or have any extra set of hands or two!
