Rolo Pretzels

The perfect Christmas snack dessert, these Rolo Pretzels are made with three ingredients for a great treat. Serve it at parties or give it to family and friends as a nice Christmas gift.

Christmas time is a great time of year to give family, friends, and neighbors gifts of homemade treats and goodies.

I love making cookies, fudge, and other candies during the holidays. My favorite part about making these treats is giving them out to my friends and family. Making goodie bags is a great gift to give people.

Load up the goodie bags with these Rolo Pretzels and whatever other treats you want to make.

How to make Rolo Pretzels:

Place your pretzel squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place a Rolo on top of each pretzel, and then heat up in the oven for about 2-3 minutes.

Watch them so the Rolos do not get too hot and melt. You just want them to be warm enough to be able to push the M&Ms into the tops.

Once the M&Ms are pushed into the tops of the Rolos, allow them to cool on the counter or in the refrigerator. Once they have cooled and set, enjoy!

Ingredients:

• Pretzel Squares - a classic pretzel shape would work for this also but I found squares to work best.
• Rolo Candies - Rolo is a brand of candy made by Hershey. It's a chocoalte candy with caramel filling.
• Christmas Colored M&M Candies - if you can't find them, buy some regular M&Ms and separate out the green and red ones.

Directions:

Step One - Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step Two - Place the pretzel squares on a baking sheet.

Step Three - Place 1 unwrapped Rolo candies on each pretzel squares

Step Four - Bake for 2-3 minutes or just until Rolo candies have started to melt.

Step Five - Press 1 M&M candies onto each Rolo candy. Allow to cool completely then serve.

Rolo Pretzel Variations:

While I made these ones specific for Christmas, you can make these any time of year and top them with any color or variety of M&M you prefer! Try some of these other options on top of the Rolos.

1. Peanut M&M's
2. Peanut Butter M&M's
3. Dark Chocolate M&M's
4. Any other variation and flavor of M&M's you like or can find at the store!

You can also top the Rolos with some other items to change them up a little as well. Try some of these:

1. Nuts - Walnuts or Pecans are a good choice.
2. Cordial Cherries - May be a bit bigger, but they are really good on top
3. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - do I even need to explain this? It's amazing!
4. Hershey's Kisses - Again, may be a tad big, but there are some really great and festive Hershey Kiss variations out during Christmas time that will be amazing!
