Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 bag mini pretzels (about 60 pieces)
- 1 bag ROLO candies (about 60 pieces), unwrapped
Topping:
- 1 bag holiday-themed M&Ms (red and green)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by lining a sheet with parchment paper, ensuring a clean, non-stick surface for creating these festive treats.
- Arrange mini pretzels in a uniform single layer across the prepared baking sheet, creating a perfect foundation for the chocolate candies.
- Position one ROLO candy precisely centered on each pretzel, creating a delectable base for the upcoming transformation.
- Gently slide the baking sheet into a preheated oven set at a low 250F (120C), allowing the ROLO candies to soften incrementally without losing their structural integrity.
- After approximately 3-4 minutes, carefully remove the sheet from the oven, observing the slightly melted chocolate surface of the ROLOs.
- Immediately press a colorful M&M into the center of each softened ROLO, creating a gentle indentation that marries the chocolate and candy.
- Allow the pretzels to rest at room temperature, permitting the chocolate to naturally cool and solidify into a glossy, smooth finish.
- For accelerated setting, transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator, chilling the treats for 15-20 minutes until completely firm.
- Once set, delicately transfer the chocolate-topped pretzels to a decorative serving plate or store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
Notes
- Opt for mini pretzels with wide, flat surfaces to ensure maximum candy coverage and stability during baking.
- Choose ROLOs at room temperature for even melting and smooth chocolate-caramel texture.
- Select holiday-themed M&Ms or color-coordinate candies to match seasonal decorations or party themes.
- Experiment with different chocolate candies like Kisses or Rolos for varied flavor profiles and textures.
