25 Days of Desserts: Pretzel M&M Cookies [PHOTO]

On the second day of December, you need pretzel m&m cookies. 

These are probably one of my favorite cookies to make and to eat, and that's because pretzel m&m's are in them. Seriously, if you've never had a pretzel m&m, you are missing out.

Pretzels m&ms came to life a few years ago and that's when I discovered this recipe on the blog, Two Peas and Their Pod.

Salt and chocolate were made for each other, and the crunch you get with these pretzel m&ms is unlike most cookie add-ins, seriously, these are amazing. I'm pretty sure this is
