Ingredients

  • 25 small pretzels gluten-free if needed
  • 25 Rolo’s
  • 25 M&M's or pecans/walnuts!

Instructions

  • 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.
