Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 50 small pretzels (mini pretzels or pretzel snaps work best)
- 50 Rolo candies, unwrapped
- 50 M&M candies (holiday colors or classic)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- 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, positioning them evenly.
- Bake the Pretzels: Bake the arranged pretzels and Rolos in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes, just until the Rolos soften but are not completely melted, so the shape holds but the caramel becomes pliable.
- Add the M&Ms: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately press one M&M candy gently onto each softened Rolo, pushing down slightly to spread the caramel around and create a firm hold.
- Cool the Candies: Let the pretzel treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate and caramel to set. Alternatively, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes for faster setting.
- Serve: Once the candies are firm, transfer them to a serving dish or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use mini pretzels or pretzel snaps for best results as they fit perfectly with the Rolos.
- Do not overbake the Rolos—just soften enough to press the M&M on top.
- These treats set best when fully cooled; refrigeration speeds up this process.
- You can customize the colors of M&Ms to match holidays or party themes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated to maintain freshness.
