Instructions

Preheat the oven to 250℉ (120℃).
Prepare the M&Ms: To create the bunny on top of each pretzel, you'll need two M&Ms of the same color - one whole M&M for the face and two halves for the ears. Use a sharp knife to cut 20 M&Ms in half. If adding faces, draw them on the whole M&Ms and let the ink dry for a few minutes before handling.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the pretzel snaps in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake the Pretzels: Place one white candy melt on each pretzel. Bake for 3-4 minutes, just until the candy melts are soft but still holding their shape.
Decorate: Remove the tray from the oven and work quickly to press a whole M&M onto the centre of each pretzel. Then add two M&M halves of the same color to form the ears. Gently press into the softened candy.
Leave the pretzel treats on the tray to set completely (about 15 minutes) before serving or handling.

Notes

The low oven temperature will soften the candy melts just enough to decorate without melting them.
Sort the M&Ms into matching colors and shapes before melting the candy for easy assembling.
Work quickly to add the M&Ms once you remove the pretzels from the oven as the candy melts will firm up again.
To make a larger quantity of bunnies, work in batches so you have enough time to add the face and ears to each pretzel bite.
I recommend buying a couple small bags of Spring M&Ms or one large bag so you can find enough of the same color to make matching face and ears.
