Ingredients
Scale
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
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by lining a sheet with parchment paper, ensuring a non-stick surface for easy chocolate manipulation and cleanup.
- Meticulously arrange pretzels in a uniform single layer, creating a perfect foundation for the chocolate-caramel treat.
- Carefully position one Rolo candy atop each pretzel, centering it precisely to guarantee even melting and coverage.
- Slide the prepared sheet into a preheated oven at 175C, allowing the Rolos to soften and become slightly glossy without completely liquefying.
- Gently extract the baking sheet from the oven, showcasing the softened chocolate-caramel discs perched atop the crispy pretzels.
- Promptly press a single M&M into the center of each warm Rolo, creating a gentle indentation that secures the colorful candy in place.
- Allow the confections to rest at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes, permitting the chocolate to stabilize and develop a smooth, glossy finish.
- Transfer the tray to the refrigerator, enabling the treats to set completely and develop a satisfying snap when bitten.
- Once fully hardened, carefully separate the pretzels from the baking sheet and arrange on a serving platter or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Opt for mini pretzels for a bite-sized treat that’s perfect for snacking or party platters.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the finished treats.
- Select Rolos at room temperature for more even melting and a smoother chocolate surface.
- Experiment with different M&M colors to match seasonal themes or create festive designs.
- Work quickly when pressing M&Ms into soft Rolos to achieve a uniform, neat appearance.
- Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the chocolate’s glossy finish and prevent melting.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular pretzels with gluten-free pretzel alternatives.
- Consider using dark or white chocolate Rolos for a flavor variation that adds excitement to the classic recipe.
