M&M’s® Rolo® Pretzel Bites

Looking for a fabulous, easy treat? How about a little caramelly goodness sandwiched between rich chocolate and a little salty crunch? I’ve got you covered with these rolo pretzel bites. They whip up in just minutes and are perfect for munching during a movie, long car ride or on a weekend getaway. They are also HIGHLY addictive. I’d recommend making a double batch. I made the epic mistake of bringing just a single batch to a family camping trip and they were devoured the first evening. I’m embarrassed to tell you how many I shoved in my face. I could not stop. They were just glorious.

Simply top waffle pretzels with an unwrapped Rolo candy. I used slave labor and had my kids unwrap all the candies. They love helping me.

Bake for a couple of minutes and then press a peanut M&M into the Rolo – smooshing it down into the pretzel. You could use a regular M&M, but I like the peanut crunch on top.

This recipe is proof that if Mars & Hershey combined, they could take over the world. You won’t be able to stop eating these.

There are lots of combinations you could do with these little bites. During the holidays, use just red/green M&Ms. You could use Hershey’s kisses or hugs instead of Rolos (but why on earth would you want to remove the caramel from this recipe?). All you peanut butter/chocolate combo folks could press a peanut butter M&M on top to get your fix. Personally, I think these are perfection just as they are. Gooey caramel, salty pretzel and just the right amount of chocolate with a peanut crunch. Oh. Baby.

    1. I get mine at either Safeway or Fred Meyer. I know Albertsons has them too. I’ve never had trouble finding them in the candy aisle.

  1. These are delicious & extremely easy to make. I know its hard to believe but we did have some left the next morning. The Rolos had white edges, like chocolate bloom. They are still delicious just not as pretty. What can I do to prevent this? Was my oven too warm? We did 275º for 2 minutes. Suggestions? I’d like to make ahead for a Scouting event. Thank you.

  2. Hey I need to make 27 little baggies of these for family…any idea on how many bags of pretzels, pecans & rolos I will need? Also, how many days in advance do you think I could make these?
