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. 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 the tray from the oven and place another pretzel on top of each Rolo, pressing down gently to form a small sandwich.
5. Set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes, or place in the refrigerator to speed up cooling.
6. Melt the dipping chocolate or wafers in a double boiler or microwave at 50% power in 45-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
7. Lightly dip each pretzel sandwich into the chocolate, lay back on the baking sheet, and top with sprinkles.
8. Let set at room temperature for 10 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Notes
Rolo candies can be substituted with Hershey’s Kisses, M&Ms, or another small chocolate candy.
Store finished candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
A great recipe to make with kids for a fun and festive St. Patrick’s Day treat.
