Main Ingredients:
- 1 bag (about 50 pieces) pretzels (mini twists or square-shaped)
- 1 bag (11 ounces / 311 grams) Rolos candies, unwrapped
- 1 bag (11 ounces / 311 grams) M&M candies, any color

None
Preparation Ingredients:
None
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175C (350F), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even heating.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and simplify post-baking cleanup.
- Arrange pretzel snaps in a single layer across the prepared baking sheet, creating a uniform grid with no overlapping pieces.
- Carefully place one Rolo candy in the center of each pretzel, positioning it precisely to ensure even melting.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and allow the Rolos to soften for approximately 3-4 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press an M&M candy into the center of each melted Rolo, creating a gentle indentation.
- Let the pretzels cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set and create a smooth, glossy surface.
- For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 5-7 minutes until the chocolate becomes firm and the candies are securely attached.
- Gently transfer the completed Rolo pretzel treats to a serving platter or storage container, handling them delicately to maintain their shape.
Notes
- Swap milk chocolate Rolos for dark chocolate varieties to reduce sugar and add depth of flavor for more adult palates.
- Experiment with different candy toppings like crushed peanuts, sprinkles, or chopped nuts to create unique texture and flavor combinations.
- Use gluten-free pretzels to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities, ensuring everyone can enjoy this sweet treat.
- Allow the pretzel-Rolo-M&M stacks to cool completely at room temperature for a crisp, clean snap when biting into them, preventing messy melting.
