Ingredients
- 50 square pretzels Snap pretzels
- 50 Rolo candies unwrapped
- 50 pecan halves
- Optional
- Holiday M&M's
- Sea salt flakes
- White chocolate for drizzling
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the square pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place one unwrapped Rolo candy in the center of each pretzel.
- Bake for 3–5 minutes, just until the Rolos become soft but still hold their shape.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press one pecan half into the softened chocolate, gently pressing until the chocolate spreads slightly over the pretzel.
- Allow the bites to cool on the baking sheet for about 20 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes until completely set.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Do not overbake the Rolos or the caramel may leak out.
- Press the pecans gently to avoid squeezing out the caramel.
- Square pretzels work best because they provide a stable base.
- For a festive variation, replace pecans with holiday M&M's.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
