Hugs and Pretzels

Dear Husband, I really don't think you understand how much I appreciate your support in everything that I do. I love you with all of my heart, and thank you for now, and for forever. 
Dear Dad, thanks for always having my back. You are the greatest.
Dear new friends, I love each and every one of you. Thank you so much for following me and joining in my journey. I cannot believe how many new faces there are around here, you guys are the best. 
Dear hugs and pretzels, you are super yummy, and really easy to make. Thanks for being great :) (recipe and directions below)
You will need:
- 1 bag of hugs
- 1 (10 oz) bag of pretzel snaps
- cookie sheet
- wax paper (trust me, it will make your life way easier!)

This part took me the longest.. but if you have a little Mommy's helper around, this is a great opportunity for that :) 
If you don't have wax paper, use parchment.. use something. It will make it so much easier to clean up :)

About half way through this step, preheat your oven to 300 degrees. I say half way, because your oven will probably preheat before you finish laying all of these out :P 

The tutorial I followed says two minutes, I put mine in for 1:45 minutes, and I think that might have been too long. But they were okay :P The tutorial said to let them sit for a minute so they could soften some more, mine were already soft, so I just moved to the next step.

Do this gently, just so they stick together :)

You don't have to do this, but it cools them down a lot faster, and honestly, I think they taste better when they aren't all melty.. is that a word? Probably not, but I'm using it anyway ;)

Now all that's left is to pop these off the sheet of wax paper and enjoy!
