Description
Festive ROLO pretzels deliver sweet and salty holiday magic in one simple treat. Chocolate caramel bites bring joy to seasonal gatherings, delighting guests with their irresistible combination of flavors you cannot resist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag mini pretzels (about 60 pieces)
- 1 bag ROLO candies (about 60 pieces), unwrapped
- 1 bag holiday-themed M&Ms (red and green)
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a smooth surface for your festive confections.
- Arrangement: Lay mini pretzels in a single, organized layer across the prepared sheet, ensuring even spacing for optimal chocolate placement.
- Chocolate Positioning: Center a ROLO candy on each pretzel, setting the stage for a delightful sweet treat.
- Melting Process: Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 250F (120C), allowing ROLOs to gently soften for 3-4 minutes without complete liquefaction.
- Decorative Topping: Remove the sheet from the oven and immediately press a vibrant M&M into the center of each softened ROLO, creating a festive, colorful finish.
- Cooling and Setting: Let the pretzels rest at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to ensure a firm, glossy chocolate surface.
- Serving and Storage: Carefully transfer the completed treats to a serving plate or store in an airtight container, preserving their delectable texture for up to one week.
Notes
- Choose Quality Chocolate: Select fresh, high-quality ROLO candies and pretzels for the best flavor and melt consistency.
- Control Melting Temperature: Watch the oven carefully to prevent chocolate from burning; low heat ensures smooth, even melting without losing candy structure.
- Precise Timing Matters: Remove pretzels from oven at exactly 3-4 minutes to achieve perfect soft-but-not-liquefied chocolate texture for M&M pressing.
- Chilling Technique: Refrigerate treats quickly to set chocolate faster and create a glossy, professional-looking finish that prevents messy spreading.
