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
- 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.
- Arrange Pretzels: Spread the pretzels out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even heating.
- Add Rolos: Place one unwrapped Rolo candy in the center of each pretzel, which will melt slightly during baking to become soft and gooey.
- 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.
- 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.
