Rolo Pretzels
Sweet, salty, and oh-so-easy, these Rolo pretzel bites are the ultimate Christmas treat! Perfect for parties or holiday snacking!
Ingredients
- 80 pretzel snaps or mini twists or waffle round varieties
- 40 milk chocolate Rolos
- 1 (10-oz) bag Ghirardelli white vanilla melting wafers
- ¼ cup Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Assemble base layer: Place 40 pretzels in a single layer on the tray. Top each with an unwrapped Rolo.
- Soften Rolos: Bake for 3-4 minutes, just until Rolos are soft but not melted. Remove from the oven.
- Make sandwiches: Press another pretzel gently on top of each softened Rolo (careful, tray is hot!). Once tray is cool enough to touch, chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to set.
- Melt coating: Microwave white melting wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip and decorate: Dip each pretzel sandwich halfway into melted chocolate, shake off excess, and decorate with sprinkles immediately.
- Final chill: Chill again for 10-20 minutes until chocolate hardens.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately or store for later!
Notes
Ingredient notes
- Use any small pretzel shape—snaps, twists, or waffles.
- Substitute Rolos with any caramel chocolate candy, like Hershey’s Kisses or Dove Caramel.
- White melting wafers can be swapped for almond bark, white chocolate chips, or candy melts.
- Unwrap Rolos before starting for faster assembly.
- Don’t overbake the Rolos; they just need to soften.
- Chill sandwiches before dipping to keep them sturdy and neat.
- Store in an airtight container at room temp for 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- Also refrigerate if your house is warm; let sit at room temp before serving.
- Freeze for up to 3 months; thaw before eating.
