Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 35 waffle pretzels
- 35 Hershey Hugs
- 35 M&Ms
Decorative Ingredients:
- Red sanding sugar
- Black decorating gel
Instructions
- Warm the culinary workspace to a gentle 200 degrees Fahrenheit, creating an ideal environment for chocolate transformation.
- Prepare a baking surface with parchment or silicone mat, laying out waffle pretzels in a uniform, non-overlapping arrangement.
- Perch a single Hershey Hug atop each pretzel, positioning them with precision for the upcoming chocolate metamorphosis.
- Transfer the prepared tray into the heated domain, monitoring the chocolate’s softening for 5-7 minutes until glossy and pliable but not completely liquefied.
- Swiftly extract the tray from the oven, immediately dusting the molten Hugs with crimson sanding sugar for a festive texture.
- Gently nestle an M&M into the center of each sugared chocolate, positioning the “M” facing downward to create a mysterious eye-like appearance.
- Utilize black decorative gel to craft a precise pupil at the M&M’s core, applying with delicate control to maintain a crisp, clean design.
- Dispatch the decorated creation into the freezer’s chilly embrace for approximately one hour, allowing the monstrous treats to solidify and preserve their ghoulish aesthetic.
Notes
- Choose room temperature Hershey Hugs for even melting and better chocolate consistency.
- Avoid overcrowding pretzels on the baking sheet to ensure uniform softening and easier decorating.
- Use gel food coloring instead of liquid for more precise pupil details and prevent chocolate bleeding.
- Experiment with different colored M&M’s for unique monster eye variations, perfect for themed parties or creative treats.
