Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Simple Ingredients: Just four pantry staples: pretzels, Rolos, M&Ms, and optional sprinkles.
- Quick to Make: From prep to cooling, you’ll only need a short window to whip these up.
- Customizable Fun: Swap in festive candies or sprinkles to fit any holiday or celebration.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 30 waffle pretzels
- 30 Rolo candies (or Hershey Kisses for a twist!)
- 30 M&M candies
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze.
- Assemble the Base: Lay your waffle pretzels in a single layer on the baking sheet. Top each pretzel with a Rolo candy, centering it for even melting.
- Bake to Perfection: Pop the tray into the oven and bake for 4-5 minutes. Keep a close eye to ensure the Rolos soften but don’t melt into a gooey puddle.
- Add the Sweet Touch: Remove the tray and gently press an M&M candy into each softened Rolo, securing it in place. For extra fun, sprinkle festive sprinkles on top while the chocolate is still warm.
- Cool & Enjoy: Allow the pretzels to cool completely so the chocolate hardens. For a faster set, refrigerate them for about 10 minutes.
Pro Tips for Perfection
- Freshness is Key: Use fresh pretzels and Rolos to ensure every bite is as crisp and indulgent as possible.
- Don’t Overbake: Stick to the 4-5 minute guideline. Overbaking can lead to a sticky caramel disaster!
- Holiday Spirit: Customize with seasonal M&M colors and themed sprinkles to match any occasion, from Christmas to Valentine’s Day.
- Speedy Cooling: Short on time? Pop the tray in the fridge for a quicker chocolate set.
