Ingredients
- 30 waffle pretzels
- 30 Rolo candies
- 30 M&M candies
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F.
- Step 2: Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper and arrange the waffle pretzels evenly on the sheet.
- Step 3: Place one Rolo candy on top of each pretzel.
- Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes, until the Rolo chocolates start to melt but are not fully liquefied.
- Step 5: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one M&M candy onto each softened Rolo, gently pressing it down.
- Step 6: Optionally, sprinkle your favorite sprinkles over the treats for added color and texture.
- Step 7: Allow the chocolate to cool completely and set before enjoying your sweet and salty snacks.
Tips & Variations
- For a twist, substitute Hershey’s Kisses for the Rolos to create a slightly different chocolate flavor.
- Use different colored M&Ms or seasonal sprinkles to match holidays or themes for a personalized touch.
- If you don’t have a Silpat, parchment paper works well to prevent sticking.
Storage
Store the Rolo pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent the chocolate from melting. If you need to store longer, keep them in the refrigerator, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular round pretzels instead of waffle pretzels?
Yes, you can use regular round pretzels, but the flat surface of waffle pretzels holds the candy better and makes for a more stable treat.
What if the chocolate melts too much in the oven?
Keep a close eye on the pretzels while baking. If the chocolate fully melts and spreads, reduce the baking time or oven temperature slightly to avoid losing the shape of the candies.

Ingredients
- 30 waffle pretzels
- 30 Rolo candies
- 30 M&M candies
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) to prepare for gentle melting of the chocolate candies.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and arrange the waffle pretzels evenly on the sheet.
- Add Rolo Candies: Place one Rolo candy directly on top of each pretzel, ensuring they are centered for even melting.
- Bake: Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 4-5 minutes, just until the Rolo chocolates begin to soften and melt slightly.
- Add M&M Candies: Immediately after removing the baking sheet from the oven, press one M&M candy firmly onto the softened Rolo on each pretzel.
- Optional Decoration: Sprinkle your choice of sprinkles over the candies for added color and texture, or leave plain as desired.
- Cool: Allow the pretzels to cool completely at room temperature so the chocolate sets and the candies stick firmly.
Notes
- Use Silpat or parchment paper to avoid sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Baking at a low temperature is key to gently softening the Rolo without melting the pretzel.
- You can substitute Hershey’s Kisses for Rolos if preferred.
- Store these treats at room temperature in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- For a dairy-free option, look for vegan caramel candies and chocolate-coated candies.
