An Easy 3 Ingredient Treat!

We’re not joking when we say this candy literally takes MINUTES to make! Only a couple of minutes to assemble, and 3-5 minutes in the oven. That’s it!!

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!). We also love making them for holidays, parties and cookie plates since they’re simple, loved by all and made in minutes.

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

WHY WE LOVE IT:

  • Just 3 ingredients! This sweet and salty treat is quick and simple, few ingredients and only minutes to make.
  • White or milk chocolate. Use your favorite Rolos and M&Ms!
  • For the kids. Because this 3 ingredient recipe is so simple, it’s perfect for kids to help!

Ingredients

  • 1 bag Pretzel Snaps (the square pretzels) – pretzel twists can also work
  • 1 bag Rolos– or unwrapped Hershey Kisses or Hugs
  • 1 bag M&Ms any type or color

How to Make Rolo Pretzels

  1. PREP. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Remove the wrapper from the Rolos.
  2. ASSEMBLE. Place pretzel snaps on your cookie sheet in a single layer. Place the unwrapped Rolo candies on the top of each pretzel.
  3. BAKE. Bake for 3-5 minutes until soft and still in shape. Do not let it melt.
    • Take the tray out of the oven. While the Rolos are still soft and warm, place M&Ms on top. Press down gently and let set.

    How far in advance can you make these without getting stale?

    1. Lil' Luna says:

      You could make them the day before or maybe even a couple days, if left in an air-tight container. Hope that help and hope you like them!

    My mom made these at Christmas and on half the batch, she used a cashew piece instead of the m&m! Yum 🙂
