Notes
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the pretzel bites while they're in the oven. Since the Reese's peanut butter bells are already soft, they can melt quickly. Aim for the shiny appearance mentioned in the instructions to ensure they're properly softened without overbaking.
- Quick Assembly: Work efficiently when placing the M&M on top of each peanut butter bell after removing them from the oven. The residual heat will help the M&M adhere to the softened peanut butter, so it's best to add them promptly to ensure they stick well.
- Proper Storage: After setting in the refrigerator, transfer the peanut butter pretzel bites to a covered container. Refrigeration helps maintain the texture and prevents the peanut butter from softening too much at room temperature. Stored this way, they'll stay fresh and delicious for longer.
