FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare them a few hours in advance and store them at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating, as it can make the pretzels soggy.

Can I use other chocolates instead of Rolos?

Absolutely. Caramel-filled chocolates work best to maintain the sweet and salty balance, but you can experiment with other bite-sized chocolates you enjoy.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 bag pretzels (about 8 ounces)
  • 1 bag Rolos (about 12 ounces)
  • 1 bag M&M’s (about 10 ounces) or pecans for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy clean-up.
  2. Arrange Pretzels: Spread the pretzels out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even heating.
  3. Add Rolos: Place one unwrapped Rolo candy in the center of each pretzel, which will melt slightly during baking to become soft and gooey.
  4. Bake and Top: Bake in the oven for approximately 3 to 5 minutes until the Rolos soften—be careful not to overbake. Immediately after removing from the oven, press one M&M or a pecan on top of each softened Rolo to create a colorful and flavorful topping.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the pretzel bites to cool completely on the baking sheet before carefully removing them, so the chocolate sets and they hold their shape. Serve as a delightful snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  • You can substitute pecans or other nuts for M&M’s for a nutty flavor.
  • Watch baking time closely to avoid melting the candies too much.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
