American Chocolate Week: Who has the time?

This post is going to be “quick and dirty.”

That means that I’m not going to be all wordy (Seriously).  It doesn’t mean that it will not be clean.  It will be clean.

(See me trying not to be wordy?)

Anyhow, yesterday kicked off the beginning of American Chocolate Week.  I think that it’s appropriate that we have a whole quasi-holiday week devoted to chocolate, and not just a day. 

And now, in the spirit of “not being wordy” and being “quick and dirty,” I’m going to give you the best, easiest, and greatest “quick and dirty” chocolate recipe ever.  Later this week I’m hoping to make a few more extensive chocolate recipes, but I’ve got company coming (an Easter Bunny, for one) which will probably keep me a little busy this week.  Trust me, I’ll do my best to make some more chocolates; no need to worry about me.

Sometimes, when Hubby and I watch television together we have what I lovingly refer to as “snackies.”  I try to come up with good snackies that can be made quickly after dinner.  I came across this idea a few years ago, and let me tell you:  it doesn’t get much quicker or easier than this.  It takes longer to unwrap the Hershey Kisses than it does to make the snackies.   Which is good, because this week I just don’t have time for baking and creating much.  (Remember what I said up there about that visiting Bunny?  He’s also bringing 5 dinner guests.)

Hubby and I can make ourselves sick eating these.  If you like those new-fangled Take 5 candy bars, you’ll love these.

Chocolate Pretzel Bites

Mini pretzel twists
Hershey Chocolate Kisses
MnMs Candy

Preheat oven to 350F Degrees.
Place pretzels flat on a lined baking sheet.
Place one (unwrapped) Hershey Kiss on top of each pretzel.

Bake the pretzels for about 2-3 minutes, until chocolate is soft.
Immediately press one MnM into the top of each Kiss.

Cool and eat.

I personally think these are better served cold, but they never seem to make it to the fridge, ya know?
