Dessert Recipe: 3-Ingredient Flower Pretzel Bites

Did you ever notice how the most beautiful food pictures on Instagram are either of ingredient combos that 100% should not go together (seriously, who eats runny eggs with pasta? Is this a thing? 🤢) or meals and dessert recipes that must have taken three days to create? Um, ain’t nobody got time for that.

But don’t worry, if you’re looking for a dessert recipe that looks beautiful, tastes delicious and literally takes minutes to put together, you’re not doomed to weird tasting combos or hours in the kitchen. These adorable little Flower Pretzel Bites require just three easy ingredients – mini pretzels, nut butter and M&Ms. And assembling this dessert recipe is so easy, even the little ones can do it. Just spread the nut butter over the pretzels, then gently press the M&Ms into the nut butter to create a flower shape. That’s literally it. No baking, no day-before prep required… nothing.

And they’re, beautiful, right?!

This is a perfect Easter dessert recipe, but it’s extremely versatile. Swap the pastel M&Ms for green and red ones, and you’ve got cute little Christmas treats. Send the kiddies off to birthday parties and school functions with these tasty little treats in whatever colors match the specified theme, and no one will know you completely forgot she signed you up for dessert duty.

Hangry mom hack: If nut allergies are a concern, just sub sunflower butter or mini (partially melted) mini marshmallows for nut butter – they work just as well in this dessert recipe.

Here’s how to make this adorable dessert recipe:

Ingredients:

• Mini hard pretzels (squares work well)
• Nut butter of choice (creamy works better than crunchy)
• Pastel colored M&Ms

Directions:

1. Spread about one teaspoon of nut butter across each pretzel.
2. Place M&Ms on top of peanut butter in a flower shape, gently pressing down to ensure they stick to peanut butter.
