Melt the Chocolate

  • Bake for 3 to 4 minutes, until the chocolate looks shiny and soft but still holds its shape.
  • Watch closely—if left too long, the chocolate can over-melt.

Add the Toppings

  • Remove the tray from the oven.
  • Quickly press one M&M onto each Kiss, gently pressing down.
