I’ve brought this M&M Pretzel bark to playdates, to my son’s school, and to work – everyone loves it! It would also be great to make over the holidays to bring to parties and to make as homemade gifts!
PRO TIP:
You can use ANY type of M&M for this recipe! I liked using the crispy M&M's because it added some crunch, however, regular, caramel, pretzel, or other varieties of M&M's would all be perfect!
