How to Make Rolo Pretzel Bites
Step 1. While the oven is preheating, arrange the pretzels on the baking sheet. Place rolos on top.
Step 2. Bake for 3 minutes until the candy starts to glisten but still has their shape. It should not be totally melted. Remove from oven and place a M&M on top. Allow to cool and set.
FAQs
The leftovers can be stored at room temperature. However, if you live in a humid area than I recommend storing them in the refrigerator.
Also, I suggest placing a layer of wax paper in between the chocolate covered treats. This will prevent them from sticking to each other.
Yes, you can freeze these treats easily.
I suggest that you flash-freeze the treats first. You can do this by putting them on a baking sheet or plate in the fridge. Allow them to stay in the fridge for about an hour.
Then put the treats inside an airtight container or bag in the freezer. You can easily grab a couple when the craving strikes.
They shouldn’t stick together since they were flash-frozen first. The treats will last up to 2 to 3 months in the freezer.
Pro Tips
- Cool completely before serving. This yummy holiday treat needs to be set completely before enjoying it.
- Line the baking sheet. Prepare the pan with parchment paper to make clean-up easier.
