Description
This popular Easy Rolo Pretzel Bites recipe with M&M candy is one of the best snacks or treats for the holidays. Pretzel bites are alway a hit at holiday parties featuring a crunchy pretzel base, gooey melted Rolo, with festive Christmas M&M’s and sprinkles on top!
Ingredients
48 dark salted caramel Rolos
48 pretzel snaps (or mini twists or waffle rounds)
48 red and green M&M’s
1/4 cup holiday nonpareil sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Place the pretzels onto the tray in a single layer. Then add a Rolo onto each pretzel. Transfer the tray into the oven and bake for 2-3 minutes, just until the chocolate softens but does not fully melt and flatten out. (I usually do 2 minutes if the chocolates are room temperature and I do 3 minutes if the chocolates were refrigerated.)
- Remove the tray from the oven and then begin decorating by gently pressing one M&M onto the tops of each Rolo. Work quickly before the chocolate sets.
- Once the M&M’s are on, you can add the nonpareil sprinkles.
- Allow the chocolates to set before serving. You can let it set at room temperature for about 20 minutes or refrigerate it for 10 minutes to speed up the process. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage instructions:
Store the pretzel candy in an airtight container at room temperature for 10 to 14 days. You can also store leftover candy in the refrigerate using an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
