Preheat the oven to 250F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Place a single layer of pretzels on the baking sheet.
Place one Rolo on top of each pretzel.
Bake for 3-5 minutes until the Rolo has softened. (You don't want the Rolos too melted.)
Remove from the oven and press the M&M or nut halfway down into the melted Rolo.
Let cool on the baking sheet completely. Enjoy!
Notes
TO MICROWAVE: Just follow the same steps, then put the pretzel bites in the microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds, until Rolos are softened.GLUTEN-FREE? My favorite brand of gluten-free pretzels for these treats is Synder's. RECIPE NOTES
Feel free to get creative with these Rolo pretzel bites! There are lots of different variations: You could also top them with peanut M&M's, white chocolate M&M's, a pecan half, almonds, etc.
This is an easy Christmas baking project for kids! Create an assembly line and have fun with this sweet and salty holiday treat.
