Bacon and Egg Candy


When I saw these on the internet, I knew I had to make them. I love a good salty and sweet combo. The recipe is pretty easy and the cuteness factor is pretty high.




Bacon and Egg Candy Recipe:

1 package M&M's (sort through and pick out all the yellow ones)
1 package white chocolate chips, melted
1 package pretzel sticks, broken in half

Directions:

Melt chocolate in the microwave or by tempering it on the stove, stirring constantly. Let the chocolate cool slightly (the "yolks" will break if the chocolate is hot). Line several baking sheets with wax paper. Spoon approximately a tablespoon of the melted white chocolate on the wax paper. Place a single, yellow M&M, blank side up, in the middle of the chocolate. Place the pretzel sticks on the side. Place in the fridge for 5 minutes or leave at room temperature until chocolate has hardened. Remove candies from wax paper using a knife or an icing spreader.

Enjoy!

  9. Adorable!! I was thinking it would be apropos for me to have those 'yolks' break, since half the eggs I crack have broken yolks.
