Description
These sweet and salty bites are the perfect festive treat to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! With gooey caramel, crunchy pretzels, and a chocolate coating, they’re easy to make and even easier to enjoy.
Ingredients
- Rolo candies (50, about one 12-ounce bag)
- Miniature pretzels (100, square, round, or traditional shape)
- Melting chocolate or wafers (10 ounces)
- St. Patrick’s-themed sprinkles (1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Unwrap & Prepare
- Unwrap all the Rolo candies and set them aside.
- Preheat your oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Layer It Up
- Arrange half of the pretzels in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Place one Rolo on top of each pretzel.
- Melt & Sandwich
- Bake for about 3 minutes, just until the Rolos appear shiny and slightly softened.
- Remove from the oven and press another pretzel gently on top of each softened Rolo to form a small sandwich.
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes (or speed up the process in the fridge).
- Dip & Decorate
- Melt the chocolate wafers using a double boiler or microwave at 50% power in 45-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Lightly dip one side of each pretzel sandwich into the melted chocolate, then place them back on the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with festive toppings.
- Set & Enjoy
- Let the candies sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate sets.
Notes
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate for up to 4 weeks.
