Servings: 4 dozens

Ingredients
- 48 mini pretzels
- 48 Rolo chocolate candies
- 48 M&Ms or pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 225°F. Line a baking sheet with either parchment paper, foil, or a silicone baking mat.
- Lay the pretzels on the baking sheet.
- Unwrap the Rolos and place one on each pretzel.
- Bake for 2–3 minutes, just until the Rolos look glossy and soft. Do not let them fully melt.
- Take out of the oven and, while still warm on the baking sheet, gently press an M&M or pecan half into the center of each melted Rolo. (If the candy or nuts do not easily push into the Rolos, put the tray back into your oven for another minute.) Try again. Avoid over-melting the Rolo candies.
- Let the bites cool at room temperature for at least 20 minutes to fully set.
Notes
For less mess, place the M&M or pecan on the Rolo first, then press down using the back of a spoon. Wipe the back of the spoon between presses if needed.
Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt over pecans or sparkling sugar over the M&Ms for extra flair.
You can also use a toaster oven or air fryer-style oven to melt the Rolos - just reduce the time and watch them closely.
