Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 bites
Ingredients
- 24 pretzel snaps
- 24 Rolo candies
- 24 pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your pretzel bites cook evenly and the Rolo candies melt perfectly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will prevent the pretzels from sticking and make for easy cleanup.
- Place the pretzel snaps on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart. You should have 24 pretzel snaps for this recipe.
- Unwrap the Rolo candies and place one on top of each pretzel snap. The Rolo should sit comfortably on the pretzel without falling off.
- Once all the pretzels have a Rolo on top, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the Rolo candies are soft and slightly shiny. Be careful not to overbake, as you want them to hold their shape.
- After 5 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. The Rolos should be melted but still hold their shape. Immediately press a pecan half into the center of each melted Rolo. This will create a delightful topping and add a nice crunch to your bites.
- Allow the Rolo pretzel bites to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Once they are cool enough to handle, you can transfer them to a serving platter or let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Enjoy your Easy Rolo Pretzel Pecan Bites as a sweet and salty treat! These bites are perfect for parties, snacks, or a quick dessert.
Tips
- Preheat Properly: Make sure your oven is fully preheated to 350°F (175°C) before baking. This ensures that your Rolos melt evenly without overcooking.
- Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat not only prevents sticking but also makes cleanup a breeze!
- Spacing is Key: When placing your pretzel snaps on the baking sheet, give them enough space to allow for even melting and easy handling after baking.
- Watch the Clock: Keep a close eye on the Rolos as they bake. You want them to be soft and shiny, but not completely melted into a puddle—about 5 minutes should do the trick!
- Press Gently: When adding the pecan halves, press down gently into the melted Rolo to create a nice seal without squishing it too much.
- Cooling Time: Let the bites cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a serving platter. This helps them set up nicely for easy handling.
- Serving Suggestions: These treats are fantastic on their own but can also be paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert!
