Rolo Pretzels

Rolo Pretzels are a simple chocolatey treat! They’re great for parties, get-togethers, or a sweet and salty movie night snack.

Rolo Pretzels literally take 3 ingredients, and they’re easy enough that the kids can help out! For more easy M&M treats, try White Chocolate M&M Popcorn or Giant M&M Cookies!

An Easy 3 Ingredient Treat!

We love to make these tasty little rolo pretzels for Family Night since we usually have all the ingredients on hand (it only takes 3!).

The best part for the kids is being able to help put them together. The best part for me is that they take minutes to make and are super simple!

The hardest part is waiting for them to set, but once they’re ready they’re gone in minutes!

Because there are so many M&M varieties, we like to change them up for holidays like Easter, Halloween and Christmas.

They are both loved, but I admit the White Chocolate Rolo Bites are my favorite!

Ready in MINUTES!

I’m not joking when I say it literally took MINUTES to make this rolo pretzel recipe. Only a couple of minutes to assemble, and 3-5 minutes in the oven. That’s it!!

PREP. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Remove the wrapper from the Rolos.

ASSEMBLE. Place pretzel snaps on your baking sheet in a single layer. Place the unwrapped Rolo candies on the top of each pretzel.

BAKE. Bake for 3-5 minutes until soft and still in shape. Do not let it melt.

Take the tray out of the oven, and while the Rolos are still soft and warm, place M&Ms on them. Press down gently and let set.

Recipe Tips

Giftable. These pretzel rolo treats make an amazing gift for your favorite people. Once the rolo pretzel bites have set, place them in a gift bag or box.

Or place the 3 ingredients in a mason jar with a gift tag and instructions on how to assemble and cook. It’s such an easy treat that families will have fun making them on their own.

Variations. This easy treat is beyond simple to customize for your favorite flavor combinations!

• Christmas time. Use red and green M&M’s or even make the Rolo pretzels look like reindeer. 
• Instead of M&Ms, top the Rolos with pecan halves, white chocolate chips, or Reese’s Pieces.
• Instead of Rolo’s, use snack-size Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Hershey kisses, or Hershey hugs.
• Pretzels. Use pretzel snaps or similar-size pretzel twists.
• Make Rolo sandwiches. Squish a Rolo between 2 pretzels. This way isn’t too pretty, but if you want a more salty crunch in each bite, this is the way to do it.

Storing Info

Make ahead of time. Make pretzels with rolos 1-2 days ahead of time and store them in an air-tight container.

Keep them at room temperature because frozen caramel or even cold Rolos are hard to eat. 

STORE. Keep these in an airtight container for up to a week.
