Aww, look how cute. And the best part is, this simple treat easily passes as a holiday "cookie" on the tray.

Pretzel Presents

Split M&M's in half using a sharp knife; set aside.

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring between, until completely melted.  Stir in shortening or coconut oil as needed to create a smooth dip-able chocolate.  

Dip waffle pretzels halfway into melted chocolate.  Lay flat on parchment paper. Place 2 M&M halves of one color at the top of the chocolate portion of the dipped waffle pretzel, cut sides down, with 2 ends meeting at the top center. Place two more M&M halves of the same color at angles under the top M&Ms, cut sides down, meeting at the same center point, forming the bow's ribbon.
