Scale
Ingredients
- 48 mini pretzel twists
- 48 Rolo candies, unwrapped
- 48 M&M candies (any variety)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for even baking and easy cleanup.
- Arrange Pretzels and Add Rolos: Lay out 48 mini pretzel twists in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place one unwrapped Rolo candy directly on top of each pretzel, centering it carefully.
- Bake to Soften Rolos: Bake the pretzel and Rolo assembly in the preheated oven for 3 to 4 minutes. This short baking time is designed to soften the Rolos without fully melting them, enabling them to spread slightly when pressed.
- Press M&Ms into Rolos: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one M&M candy into the center of each softened Rolo. Gently press down to spread the chocolate slightly without causing overflow.
- Cool to Set: Let the pretzels cool at room temperature until the chocolate sets firm. For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Store: Once set and firm, transfer the Rolo Pretzels with M&Ms to an airtight container to maintain freshness until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a festive touch, use seasonal M&Ms such as red and green for holidays.
- Substitute Rolos with Hershey’s Kisses or Reese’s Minis for a fun flavor variation.
