Ingredients

1 bag pretzel snaps
1 bag Ghiradelli white chocolate melting wafers
2 bags milk chocolate Easter M&M's

Instructions

Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. I like a silicone baking mat for these because it is a little grippy and helps the pretzels not slide about as much. Separate M&M's into individual colors in bowls.
Arrange pretzel snaps in rows about 5-6 across. Don't squish them too tight as you want some space to work when placing the M&M's later without worrying about touching the other flowers next to it.
Place one white chocolate melting wafer in the center of each pretzel snap.
Put the pretzels and white chocolate in the oven for 2-3 minutes, just until the white chocolate is barely melted.
Remove from the oven and immediately arrange M&M's on each pretzel, pressing one color of M&M in for the center of the flower and 6 others in a contrasting color for the petals around the edges. Let sit for about 20 minutes until the white chocolate solidifies and holds the M&M's in place.

Notes

Microwave approach: If you just want to make a few of these flower pretzel bites at a time, you could do them in the microwave. Just arrange 8-10 pretzels and white chocolate wafers on a plate lined with a piece of parchment paper. Microwave for about 45 seconds, just until the white chocolate starts to melt but isn't melted all the way. Remove and decorate with M&M's.
