Groceries Needed

Rolos
Pretzels: Square pretzels are the ones I prefer to use for this recipe, but you can also use the standard-looking bow pretzel but I would recommend using the mini size.

**EAZYTIP : Salt, Pepper, Garlic powder, and Oil are not counted in the ingredient list because most home kitchens have these ingredients in their cupboards.

How to make Rolo Pretzel Bites?

These are so easy! When you’ve made them once, you’ll always come back to this recipe because their so delicious and even the little ones can help you make them!

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will make it easier to remove them after the caramel and chocolate melt.
  • Line your pan with pretzels leaving a tiny bit of space between them. You can place them closer than I did to get more done faster.
  • Bake at for about 3 minutes until the Rolos have softened.
  • Remove from the oven then top with a 2nd pretzel pushing down to make a sandwich with a Rolo in between.

How long do you cook pretzel rolos?


Rolo Pretzel bites soften very quickly and are ready in about 3 minutes. They are perfect for
running between batches of cookies or other baked goods while the oven is already warm. If
you are unsure if they are ready for the second pretzel, try pressing one pretzel down on the top of the closest one.

If it collapses down easily, they are ready.

Suggestions for putting a twist on the recipe


Different Pretzels: Switch it up using different pretzel shapes. The waffle style there is great because they make the perfect Rolo sandwiches but you can make these using other types of pretzels you find at your local grocery store.
Adding Nuts: Try adding nuts to your Rolo Pretzel Candies leaving out the top pretzel. Leaving off the top pretzel and using a pecan half to press down the Rolo candy makes these super delicious as well.
Different Candies: You can mix this up by using different candies. These work great with soft chewy caramels, Hershey’s Kisses, or mini Reese cups.

How do I serve these caramel chocolate candy treats?


These are a great treat for serving at holiday parties, cookouts, and other gatherings. Try arranging them on a snack/candy platter featuring other sweet treats like my 3 Ingredient Moose Poop Candy!

Serve them on a side of a cup of hot cocoa in the winter, or if you want something totally unique, try roasting a marshmallow, then use the pretzel candy as a ‘utensil’ to scrape the marshmallow off the stick, essentially making a “Pretzel Smores”!

These can also be used in a snack mix with other sweet and favorite ingredients to make your favorite homemade snack mix stick out from the crowd.

Storing the leftovers

Store your leftover Rolo Pretzel Bites in an air-tight container in a cool space.

In the summertime, you may want to keep them in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate from melting on hot days. However, on regular temperature days, storing them in a cabinet away from the stove will be fine.

Can you freeze Rolo Pretzel bites?

While most of the time these will not last long enough to freeze, if you are making them well
ahead of time to help give you more time later, you can freeze Rolo Pretzel Bites without issues
for 2-3 months.

Leave plenty of time to thaw when you want to serve them. Overnight is best, but you’ll need a minimum of a few hours.

Why does the chocolate on my Rolo’s look like they have a white film on them?

This is called the “chocolate bloom”. According to My Panier, it simply has to do with moisture levels affecting either the sugar or the fat content in the chocolate.

It’s totally fine to eat, it’s not harmful in any way.

Yield: 28 candies

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 3 minutes
Additional Time 2 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 rolls of Rolo Candy (7 pieces in each roll)
  • 48 Pretzel squares

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating the oven to 350.
  2. While it's preheating, line a baking dish with parchment paper or a silpat liner. Lay out 28 pretzels, spaced evenly on the sheet.
  3. Unwrap each Rolo candy and place one rolo on top of each pretzel.
  4. Place in the oven for 2-3 minutes, watching them closely. The candies shouldn't collapse and melt, but they will look glossy as they soften.
  5. Remove from the oven and working quickly, top each Rolo candy with another pretzel, pushing down to sandwich the candy between each piece of pretzel. Let cool and enjoy!

Notes

Square pretzels work perfect for this candy, but you can also use the mini pretzel shapes as well. Anything bigger, like standard pretzel shapes will be too big to hold the Rolo candy in place.

You can leave the top pretzel off and instead substitute a half pecan for some nuttiness to the candy.

If the candy you are working with has a white film on it, this is called the "bloom" chocolate. It's harmless and simply means the chocolate is not as fresh as it could be.
