Equipment

  • 1 large baking sheet
  • 1 sheet parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 36 pretzels see notes
  • 36 Rolo candies
  • 36 holiday colored M&M's or pecans see notes

Instructions
 

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 300 F (149 C).
  • Place your preferred number of pretzels on top of the lined baking sheets. Top each of the pretzels with one Rolo candy. Try to get the candy in the center of the pretzel as much as possible.

  • Bake the Rolo topped pretzels just long enough for the chocolate to look shiny and slightly melted. This takes about 3 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven to a cooling rack.
  • As soon as the pretzels come out of the oven, top the Rolo candy with your preferred choice of toppings. Press a festive color M&M or pecans into the center of the slightly melted chocolate. Alternatively, top the Rolo candy with another pretzel to make a little sandwiched Rolo pretzel bite.

  • Transfer the pretzels to chill in the freezer for about 15 minutes or the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes. Remove from the freezer or fridge to enjoy at room temperature.

Notes

Store: Transfer any leftover pieces of Rolo M&M pretzels into an airtight container to be stored at room temperature for about 1 week.
Pretzels: Each Rolo pretzel bite is made with one pretzel. The amount of pretzels is up to you and how many you need to make. To top the pretzel bites with another pretzels rather than a candy or nuts, double the amount of pretzels. 
Topping Ideas:
  • Holiday Rolo Pretzels: Top each pretsel bite with a colorful candy that corresponds to the holiday's colors. 
  • Rolo Turtle Pretzels: Top each Rolo candy with a whole pecan. 
  • Pretzel Sandwich Bites: Top each Rolo candy with another pretzel. Once the pretzel bites are set, dip one edge into melted white or regular  chocolate and sprinkle colorful sprinkles.
