Description

Rolo Pretzels with M&M Candies are a delightful sweet and salty treat combining crunchy pretzels, gooey caramel-filled Rolo chocolates, and colorful M&M candies. Perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or a fun snack, these bite-sized snacks are easy to make and sure to please kids and adults alike.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 50 small pretzels (mini pretzels or pretzel snaps work best)
  • 50 Rolo candies, unwrapped
  • 50 M&M candies (holiday colors or classic)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Assemble the pretzels: Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place one unwrapped Rolo candy in the center of each pretzel. This ensures the caramel melts evenly over the pretzel surface.
  3. Bake: Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes or until the Rolo candies soften but do not fully melt. Keep a close eye to avoid overheating or burning.
  4. Add the M&Ms: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately press one M&M candy gently onto each softened Rolo, pushing down just enough to spread the caramel slightly and attach the M&M securely.
  5. Cool: Let the pretzels cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate and caramel to firm up. Alternatively, you can speed up this process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  6. Serve: Once the candies are firm and set, transfer the Rolo pretzels with M&Ms to a serving dish or store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use mini pretzels or pretzel snaps for best bite-sized results.
  • Monitor the baking time carefully to avoid melting the Rolos completely; they should be soft but still hold their shape.
  • You can customize the M&M colors for different holidays or themes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
