Rolo Pretzels Recipe
Introduction
Rolo Pretzels combine sweet and salty flavors in a simple, irresistible treat. With just three ingredients and a few minutes in the oven, you can make these bite-sized delights perfect for parties or an easy homemade snack.
Ingredients
- 24 Rolo candies (unwrapped)
- 24 pretzels
- 24 M&M candies
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 250º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: Arrange the pretzels evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Place one unwrapped Rolo candy on top of each pretzel.
- Step 3: Place the baking sheet in the oven for 3–5 minutes. Watch closely—the Rolo candies should start to soften and become shiny, but not melt completely.
- Step 4: Remove the tray from the oven and immediately press one M&M candy gently on top of each softened Rolo. Press down slightly to secure it in place.
- Step 5: Allow the pretzels to set at room temperature for about 2 hours until the chocolate hardens fully. Once set, store them in an airtight container.
Tips & Variations
- Use different colored M&Ms or other small candies to customize for holidays or themes.
- If you prefer a softer pretzel base, try slightly warmed pretzels before assembling.
- For a quicker set, place the finished pretzels in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes.
Storage
Store Rolo Pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Avoid humidity to keep the pretzels crisp. If the chocolate softens, you can chill them briefly before serving.

FAQs
Can I use different types of pretzels?
Yes, both mini pretzel twists or rods can work, but flat pretzel rings are best for holding the candy securely.
What if my Rolos melt too much in the oven?
Keep a close eye while baking and remove them as soon as the candies soften and become glossy. Over-melting can cause the chocolate to spread too much and not hold the M&M in place.
