Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
Arrange Pretzels: Lay out the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced to allow for even heat circulation.
Add Rolo Candies: Place one unwrapped Rolo candy on top of each pretzel piece, positioning them carefully to maintain balance.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 3 to 4 minutes until the Rolos are softened but still retain their shape, ensuring the caramel melts gently without spreading too much.
Press M&Ms: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one M&M candy into the center of each softened Rolo, pressing gently to set.
Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate and caramel are firm.
Store: Store the finished Rolo pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

Use seasonal M&Ms to match holidays (red and green for Christmas, pastel for Easter, etc.).
For extra crunch, try using pretzel snaps instead of twists or squares.
You can swap Rolos with Hershey’s Kisses or mini Reese’s for a variation in flavor.
