Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Arrange pretzels: Place pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
3. Add Rolo chocolates: Unwrap the Rolo candies and place one on top of each pretzel.
4. Bake: Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 3–5 minutes, or until the Rolo candies are soft but not completely melted. Keep a close eye on them to avoid over-baking.
5. Press the M&M candies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately press one M&M candy onto the top of each softened Rolo, gently pressing it down.
6. Cool and set: Allow the Rolo pretzels to cool completely on the baking sheet. To speed up the process, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate sets.
7. Serve or store: Once cooled, the Rolo Pretzels with M&M Candies are ready to serve or store.
