Description
Rolo Pretzel Bites are the perfect sweet-and-salty treat! Combining crunchy pretzels, gooey caramel-filled Rolos, and pecans, these bite-sized snacks are quick to prepare and ideal for any occasion.
Ingredients
- Mini pretzels (square) – 40
- Rolo candies – 40 (unwrapped)
- Pecan halves – 20
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). This low temperature ensures the Rolos soften without fully melting. - Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on the baking sheet. - Top with Rolos:
Place one unwrapped Rolo candy in the center of each pretzel. Ensure the Rolos are well-centered for even pressing later. - Bake:
Bake the pretzels and Rolos in the preheated oven for 4–5 minutes. The Rolos should soften but still hold their shape. - Add Pecan Halves:
Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Gently press a pecan half onto the top of each softened Rolo, flattening it slightly and securing it to the pretzel. - Cool:
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 5–7 minutes to allow the Rolos to set and firm up. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooled, serve your Rolo Pretzel Bites on a platter or store them for later.
Notes
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Refrigeration: Keep in the fridge if your kitchen is warm to prevent melting.
- Freezing: Freeze bites in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
