It’s no secret that we love our HUGS at this house…both the real kind and these special but-oh-so-easy homemade treats. Since my husband loves cashews, I thought I would put a bit of a different spin on regular pretzel hugs and replace the M&M candy with cashews. And they taste AH-mazing with the cashews. And I think that ANY nut would work just well…peanuts or almonds, for instance.
I have made many versions of pretzel hugs including a Valentine’s version and an Easter version, in addition to the Christmas version. They are just such a wonderful gift and everyone likes them.
You can find the recipe HERE, but it’s just pretzels with melted Hersheys hugs or candy melts and a candy pressed into the melted chocolate. {I got every thing I needed at Bulk Barn Canada}. It’s a very easy project and great for kids to make!
I found the chevron patterned bucket in the dollar spot at Target and then I made some tags for you to print off so you can make re-create this package on your own.
