Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Unwrap & Prepare
  2. Unwrap all the Rolo candies and set them aside.
  3. Preheat your oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Layer It Up
  5. Arrange half of the pretzels in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  6. Place one Rolo on top of each pretzel.
  7. Melt & Sandwich
  8. Bake for about 3 minutes, just until the Rolos appear shiny and slightly softened.
  9. Remove from the oven and press another pretzel gently on top of each softened Rolo to form a small sandwich.
  10. Let cool for at least 30 minutes (or speed up the process in the fridge).
  11. Dip & Decorate
  12. Melt the chocolate wafers using a double boiler or microwave at 50% power in 45-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  13. Lightly dip one side of each pretzel sandwich into the melted chocolate, then place them back on the baking sheet.
  14. Sprinkle with festive toppings.
  15. Set & Enjoy
  16. 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.
  • Swaps & Twists: Try Hershey’s Kisses, M&Ms, or different chocolate varieties for a personalized touch.
  • Quick Tip: If you prefer a softer caramel, reduce baking time by 30 seconds.
