Description
Super cute, super festive, and super easy, this Rolo pretzel candy is all dressed up for a simple St. Patrick’s Day treat. These are so simple and fun to make for or with your kids!
Ingredients
- 1 12 ounce bag Rolo candies (about 50 pieces)
- 100 miniature pretzels (square, round, or looped)
- 10 ounces melting chocolate or wafers
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
Instructions
1. Unwrap all the Rolos and set aside. Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Arrange half of the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, then place one Rolo on top of each pretzel.
3. Bake for about 3 minutes, just until the Rolos are shiny and slightly softened.
4. Remove tray from the oven and place another pretzel on top of each Rolo, pressing down gently to form a small sandwich. Set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes, until fully set. (You can speed this up in the refrigerator.)
5. Melt the dipping chocolate or wafers, either in a double boiler or by microwaving at 50% power in 45-second bursts until smooth.
6. Lightly dip each pretzel sandwich into the melted chocolate, then lay back on the baking sheet and top lightly with sprinkles.
7. Leave at room temperature for another 10 minutes or until fully set.
Notes
Try using green and gold sprinkles for a festive St. Patrick’s Day touch.
You can also swap the pretzel shapes for fun variations — circles and squares both work well.
These store best in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
