Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 50 pretzels snap or waffle-style
  • 12 oz package Rolos about 100 pieces
  • 50 pecan halves

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange pretzels in a single layer and place one unwrapped Rolo on each.
  3. Bake for 4–7 minutes until Rolos look glossy and softened.
  4. Remove from oven and gently press a pecan half into each softened Rolo.
  5. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

For a colorful variation, replace pecans with M&Ms. Always check the Rolos at 4 minutes—overbaking causes caramel to melt into puddles.
