Pretzel Rolo Bites for Cookie Boxes


  • Author: Julia
  • Total Time: 73 minutes
  • Yield: 48 servings 1x

Description

Square pretzels with briefly softened chocolate-caramel Rolo candies, each pressed with a pecan half and cooled until set.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 48 pieces Square snap pretzels
  • 48 pieces Rolo chocolate-caramel candies, unwrapped
  • 48 halves Pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 250 F (about 120 C). Line two rimmed trays with oven-safe parchment and place 24 intact square pretzels in a single layer on each. Set one unwrapped Rolo candy upright on each pretzel.
  2. Warm one tray at a time for approximately 3–4 minutes until the chocolate just softens but holds its general shape; do not wait for caramel to spill or chocolate to puddle. Carefully remove the hot tray.
  3. Immediately and gently press one pecan half into each softened candy. Repeat with second tray, recording actual oven time and count.
  4. Leave bites undisturbed until chocolate and caramel are fully firm, around 45 minutes as a working estimate in a cool room; check by touch with clean hands. Transfer to a box with parchment between layers only after set.
