Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 oz) bag Rolo candies (about 50 pieces)
  • 100 miniature pretzels (square, round, or looped)
  • 10 oz melting chocolate or chocolate wafers
  • 1/4 cup festive green, gold, and white sprinkles

Substitution Ideas:

• Candy: Hershey’s Kisses, caramel-filled chocolates, or mini peanut butter cups

• Pretzels: Pretzel snaps, twists, or pretzel crisps

• Chocolate: Dark chocolate, white chocolate, or colored candy melts

• Toppings: Crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, or edible glitter

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 250°F (130°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Arrange half of the pretzels in a single layer on the baking sheet.

3. Place one Rolo candy in the center of each pretzel.

4. Bake for 3 minutes until Rolos are shiny and slightly softened.

5. Remove from oven and immediately place another pretzel on top, pressing gently to form a sandwich.

6. Allow pretzel sandwiches to cool and set for 30 minutes.

7. Melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave at 50% power.

8. Dip each pretzel sandwich into melted chocolate and place back on parchment.

9. Sprinkle with festive decorations while chocolate is still wet.

10. Let chocolate set completely before serving.

Notes

• Do not overbake, 3 minutes is ideal to soften Rolos without melting.

• Work quickly after removing from oven, as candies set fast.

• Allow full setting time for best structure and clean handling.

• Store in cool, dry conditions to avoid chocolate bloom.

• Kid-friendly recipe with adult supervision for oven use.
