Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup small square pretzels (like Snaps)
- 24 Rolo candies (unwrapped)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- Optional: Chopped nuts or festive sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pretzel bites.
- Arrange Pretzels: Lay out the pretzels in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Add Rolo Candies: Place one unwrapped Rolo candy on top of each pretzel, centering them for even melting.
- Bake: Bake the pretzels with Rolo candies for 4-5 minutes until the Rolos become soft but not fully melted, creating a gooey texture.
- Season and Cool: Remove from the oven, immediately sprinkle sea salt over the warm Rolos to enhance flavor, and allow the bites to cool slightly before serving to firm up.
Notes
- Ensure not to overbake the Rolos to prevent them from completely melting and losing shape.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to avoid sticking.
- Optional garnishes like chopped nuts or festive sprinkles add extra texture and holiday flair.
- Serve these treats slightly warm or at room temperature for best gooey texture.
