Ingredients
Scale
Main Candy Ingredients:
- 1 bag Rolos (about 50 candies, unwrapped)
- 50 pecan halves (or substitute with M&Ms for a nut-free option)
Base Ingredient:
- 1 bag mini pretzels (approximately 50 pretzels)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by lining a sheet with parchment paper, creating a smooth surface for the pretzel treats.
- Meticulously arrange pretzel squares in a uniform single layer, ensuring each piece is evenly spaced.
- Strategically position an unwrapped caramel chocolate Rolo precisely centered on each pretzel base.
- Slide the prepared tray into a gently warmed oven calibrated to 250F, allowing the candies to soften for precisely 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully extract the tray, maintaining a delicate touch while gently pressing a pecan half or colorful M&M into the slightly melted Rolo, creating a harmonious fusion of textures.
- Allow the treats to rest and stabilize at ambient room temperature for approximately half an hour, permitting the chocolate to gradually solidify.
- Alternatively, expedite the setting process by transferring the tray to the refrigerator for a quick 15-minute cooling interval.
- Once completely set, delicately transfer the finished confections to an airtight storage container, preserving their crisp texture and rich flavor profile.
Notes
- Optimize oven temperature carefully to prevent burning the delicate chocolate and ensure smooth melting of Rolos.
- Choose high-quality pretzels with consistent shape for uniform and professional-looking treats.
- Experiment with different chocolate and nut combinations like dark chocolate with almonds or white chocolate with macadamia nuts for exciting flavor variations.
- Create gluten-free version by using gluten-free pretzels and checking Rolo candy ingredients for celiac-friendly options.
