If you’re hard-pressed for time but really want to give your friends, neighbors, child’s teachers or the mailman a home-baked Christmas gift, then these 3 ingredient Christmas Pretzel Treats are the way to go!
Last night we had a friend visit our home for the first time and with it being the Christmas season, I really wanted to send her home with a Christmas plate
laden with home-baked treats. Ideally, this would mean a plate
filled with Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, Coconut Snowballs or even several 3 ingredient Christmas Oreo Cookie Balls and 3 ingredient shortbread cookies.
Ideally.
But when she called fifteen minutes before setting foot into our home, I knew I needed to find something quick to make.
Thus the 3 ingredient Christmas Pretzel Treats!
All you need are pretzels
, Rolos
or Hershey’s kisses 
and Christmas (Red and Green M&Ms
)…
that’s it!
Easy 3 ingredient Christmas Treats recipe
- 20 pretzel twists, squares. Try and find pretty, if possible, Christmas themed, pretzels
- 20 Caramel Rolos OR Hershey's Kisses (I love doing the Almond ones or even the Candy Cane ones)
- 20 Christmas M&Ms Red and Green colored M&Ms
-
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit
-
Arrange the pretzels on a baking tray lined with parchment paper
-
Place a Rolo/Hershey's Kiss in the center, on top of each pretzel
-
Once done, pop the tray in the oven for 3-5 minutes (As soon as you see the Rolos/Kisses beginning to melt, pull the tray out of the oven)
-
Remove and quickly but gently place a red/green M&M on each softened Rolo/Hershey's Kiss
-
Set aside to cool (Or to hurry the process, pop into the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes)
-
And voila, your Christmas Pretzel Treats are ready!
Now that you have your treats ready to gift, consider some festive packaging options?
Add these printable Christmas tags and gift these to your neighbor next door, or make a Christmas Treats assortment to share at a Christmas Treats exchange.

These are a favorite! We just have a problem sharing them. š It’s almost as if they are made and really don’t last 24 hours in our house.
Tammy says
This is such a great treat to make when you’re running low on time because it’s so simple!
Lolli @ Better in Bulk says
I love that these are so quick to whip up! I need to make more cookies. I keep making treats and then eating them (with help, of course) instead of giving them away!
Nancy Lustri (StyleDecor) says
Oh my…These are calling me. I hear my name….They look absolutely delicious! š Will have to try!
Angela says
I can’t believe this is only 3 ingredients! They look so yummy.
Pam says
We make these and they are super tasty! My favorite is chocolate peppermint bark because it only has two ingredients! š
Daisy says
LOL – My son just looked at my screen and said that we have to make these NOW! š
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I just might make these this week to take to my mom’s house. They look so good, and I’m going with Rolos!
Tammilee says
Yum, I make these with pecans, i cant wait to try them with M&M’s

These are always a big hit in my house. I could devour a plate in a day without even meaning it.
Liza @ Views From the 'Ville says
I made some of these the other day, half with M&Ms, and half with walnut pieces on top since my husband loves nuts. My quickest Christmas treat is probably my Rocky Road Squares – like 5 minutes to make, then they just have to cool.
Kristin Wheeler (@MamaLuvsBooks) says
AWESOME!! You had me at 3 ingredients!!! YUM!
candice says
i keep seeing this! why haven’t i made it yet?!?!
Elena says
Looks yummy! Thank you for the recipe
Sharon Rooney says
I have made these and they are always a big hit. They can also be changed up for different holidays by changing the colors on the M & M’s.
christina moore says
My granddaughter loves these,
Jennifer Heintz says
Who doesn’t have a shortage of time right around now? The quickest treat I make are slice and bake cookies. But these pretzels treats are just as easy, homemade, and probably much better. Great idea, and thanks for sharing.
