Pretzel M&M Cookies
Have you tried Pretzel M&M’s? We splurged and bought a bag this weekend. They are the latest addition to the M&M family and they are scrumptious. The M&M’s have a colorful candy shell, like all M&M’s, but inside the milk chocolate there is a crunchy pretzel. Genius! I had to hide the bag from Josh. I wasn’t trying to hog them, I just wanted to save them to bake pretzel M&M cookies.
Last week I couldn’t use our oven because our kitchen was under construction. It still is, but Josh cleaned up the mess so I could cook and bake this week. It is probably the last week I will have access to our kitchen until the kitchen remodel is finished. I am going to make the most of this week. Yesterday, I baked a batch of pretzel M&M cookies. If you have tried the new pretzel M&M’s and are in love, like us, just wait until you taste these cookies. They are amazing!
I added the M&M’s to a chocolate chip cookie dough. I also sprinkled the cookie balls with sea salt to bring out the salty flavor in the pretzels. The cookies have a little crunch from the pretzel M&M’s and there is plenty of chocolate to go around. I love the sweet and salty combination.
I am going to stock up on pretzel M&M’s so I can bake never ending batches of these cookies. Go buy a bag today and get baking!

Kitchen remodel, huh? Will keep an eye on this. We are building and I continue to look for kitchen ideas!
The Pretzel M&M’s are my favorite! I cannot keep them in the house otherwise I eat handfuls at a time! Thanks for a great new cookie recipe
So fun. Chocolate and pretzels is a winning combination, so I’m sure these are fantastic. Ah! I cannot wait to see your finished kitchen. Very awesome that you guys are doing the work yourselves.
I love the pretzel M&Ms. Now I”m going to have to try these cookies. They sound fabulous.
I’ve yet to try those M&M’s, but I can just imagine how good they’d be in these cookies. Chocolate and pretzels are one of my favorite combos.
So cute!! I love combining sweet and salty!
I haven’t tried Pretzel M&M’s. In fact this is the first I’m hearing about them. I’ll have to look for them. Your cookies look great.
I can’t find the pretzel M&Ms yet! I am dying to try them.
Yum! Sounds like the ultimate sweet/salty combo. Hope the pretzel M&Ms are available in Canada ’cause I might just have to bake a batch of these today!
My husband LOVES pretzel M&Ms. I like them, but have never been a huge fan of pretzels before. I’ve been planning on making pretzel M&M ice cream but ever since the first bag of them I bought I haven’t been able to find them anywhere
I keep looking though so someday soon I hope!
I bought a 3 lb. bag of those in May when we were still in Kansas and made the same thing, ccc’s with the M&M’s in them. I really liked them. You beat me though, I never did get that post up.
My girls love the pretzel M & M’s. I’m just positive they’d have to come straight from the store into the cookies. They know all my hiding places.
Oh my gosh, we love those pretzel m&m’s, looks great!!
Yes!! We have tried the pretzel M&M’s and LOVE them!! Since my two little boys have nut allergies, they are the only other M&M they can have besides plain. M&M’s are their favorite treat! I have to head to the grocery store today and these M&M’s are on the list. I’m making these for family night tonight. YAY!!!
Your cookies look wonderful. Now you’re making me want to go down to the newstand and buy myself a bag of these M&Ms for my afternoon snack.
Pretzels and chocolate are always a favorite! I have never tried these M & M’s, sounds like they are great out of hand or in your FAB cookies
Your re-model is gonna be so awesome!
I love that commercial! lol. Great looking cookies!
I have seen these little m&m’s but have yet to try them. I will be hunting them down soon now. And in a cookie, can’t get better than that!
I’ve been dying to try the new pretzel ones but I keep forgetting to look for them in the stores. Once I do, I’ll be making this cookies too. They sound great!
I fell in love with the pretzel M &M’s last month when I had them for the first time. This is an excellent way to incorporate more of them into my diet! Your cookies look excellent!
i haven’t tried those m&m’s yet, but they look great! I think I’ll buy a bag to try, and try these cookies too
These cookies look incredible… I am now tempted to run out and buy a bag of the pretzel M&Ms. Maybe I should buy 2 bags since I will probably end up snacking on them all before I get to bake any cookies!
I love the combination of salty and sweet! I haven’t even heard of pretzel M&Ms but I might have to make a trip to the store today to find some!
Good luck with your kitchen remodel!
i’m totally in love with those new m&m’s mmmmm!!!!!
Holy yum!!
I have been seeking out the pretzel M+Ms but haven’t come across them yet. As soon as I do, these cookies will most certainly be made!
What a great combination of flavors.
Can’t wait to try this recipe. Haven’t had the Pretzel M&M’s yet though, but effeminately will.
What a fun idea! I can’t wait to make these with my kids!
I’m a fan of the pretzel M&M’s. I too thought about making them into cookies, glad you did too ;]… Great photos !
You make these look amazing…. which I am sure they are. Thanks for creating and sharing.
I haven’t tried those yet, but I know they’ll be wonderful. I love the chocolate/pretzel combo! These cookies look great- I’ll have to try them when I find some of the M&Ms. Thanks for sharing
Never had Pretzel M&M’s before, but these look fantastic! Would be great snacks.
Sadly I was NOT a fan of the Pretzel m&m’s. They didn’t taste like pretzels to me, more like Whoppers and I’ve never liked those. However, give a plain bag of m&m’s and I’m happy.
Love the sweet/salty combo of pretzel M&M’s! Great cookies!
I hadn’t heard of pretzel m&m’s, but I’m determined to find them now! Sweet of Josh to clear the way for you to bake.
I absolutely love pretzels and could snack on them all day every day. Plus, I can’t get enough of M&Ms. I have to try this recipe! Although…I think it would be dangerous to have these in the house!
I bet these were delicious with the sweet and salty. Pretty too!
no way a bag of those m&ms would make it into cookies if i’m in the vicinity, but it’s a tasty idea!
The new M&Ms are SO good – what a brilliant idea to make them into cookie form! : )
