    These Googly Eye Pretzel Kisses are so simple to make and really fun! www.laurenkellynutrition.com

    These Googly Eye Pretzel Kisses are so easy to make and super adorable.  All kids (and adults!) will go crazy for these simple, fun Halloween treats or any time of the year!

    There are so many extremely creative, fun Halloween treats out there.  I mostly just browse through those recipes because I am not that creative myself. And I consider myself to be a very simple baker.

    There's nothing wrong with that, right? I actually enjoy baking very much. But if there is an elaborate recipe, I will mostly always pass on it.

    I am not a huge fan of all of the artificial colors and stuff since my kids get so much candy from trick-or-treating.  I like finding simple and adorable treats that don't take a lot of time (who has any time these days?)

    And truth be told, especially when your kids are younger, they get sooo much (unnecessary) candy this time of year, why should we go make elaborate desserts filled with even more sugar? I really try my best not to overload them with too much sugar and junk but everything in moderation, right?

    I thought, why not make a fun twist on my Pretzel Kisses? If you are looking for another yummy Halloween treat, you should make my Chocolate Spiderweb Cookies. Or if you are feeling festive for St. Patrick's Day or just want to celebrate your Irish roots, your will love these Shamrock Pretzels!

    If you want something to sip on while snacking on these googly eye pretzel kisses, enjoy my Apple Chai Latte, Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate or even my Spiked Apple Cider!

    Why You Should Make These Googly Eye Pretzel Kisses

    They are simple to make, small bite-sized, and adorable.  What's not to love about these?

    And these are a perfect example of me and my "simple" treats. Not everything has to be over the top and elaborate to be cute and taste delicious. Am I right?

    These goggly eyes have thousands of options and my kids love them!  These are perfect for the kids' lunch boxes especially when you want to give them a small treat. And let's keep it real here, I am really not THAT creative with treats and such.

    This is about how creative I get. And it doesn't mean just because they are simple to make, they can't still be delicious! Don't you just love a sweet and salty treat?

    The best part of these is that you can customize them to any way you like them. Use any color Hershey's Kisses or Hugs, you can use other types pretzels...the possibilities are endless. Have some fun and mix it up!

    I only found them once but the orange colored Hershey kisses looked adorable when I used them too!

    How to Make These Googly Eye Pretzel Kisses

    These couldn't be any easier to prepare. Even the kids can handle these on their own (with supervision of course depending on their age).

    With just three simple ingredients you can whip these up in no time.

    I mean, seriously, aren't these edible googly eyes so cute? They make anything look adorable!  You can buy them from Amazon here.

    This video shows you just how simple they are!

    And for everyone who sent me prayers and sweet notes about my surgery, thank you so much.  I am doing really well and felling great. I appreciate all of the notes and emails from you.

          It would be helpful if this recipe was complete. Are you using edible googly eyes, regular? Also, I noticed a typo which drives me nuts. I'm assuming you meant over bake not overtake?

          Hello Jen. I edited to say that they are edible google eyes. As for the typo, so sorry, I am human and we all make mistakes, right? Thanks for catching that, I changed it to overbake! Have a great day.
