Rolo Pretzel Bites
The first time I had these werefrom my supervisor at work.. and have loved them ever since.
The key to creating these is the low temp for melting the rolo's and NOT over-heating them.
Ingredients
1 bag of Holiday Wreath Pretzels (they're the circles) or the pretzels that look like a checkerboard
100 Rolo pieces (or as many bites as you want to make)
100 M&M's (or you can put up to three on each bite if you want)
Directions
--Preheat oven to 250 degrees F
--Line a few cookie sheets with parchment paper
--Lay out the unwrapped rolos and place the Circle Pretzels on top of the rolo. It's okay if they don't fit perfectly, they'll melt around the pretzel to stay intact.
-- For the Waffle Pretzel, fill a pan with 1/2 thee amount of square pretzels and lay a rolo on top of each. You will be usng thee other half to top of the melted rolo so it's like a sandwich for dipping.
--Place Rolo/Pretzel combo in the oven for 3-5 minutes. (It was always 4 minutes for me.) You don't want the Rolo to be completely melted, just enough where you can squish an M&M or pecan easily on top.
--Put an M&M (or pecan) on each bite, working quickly so the Rolo doesn't reharden.
--If you have a freezer large enough, place the pan of finished bites into it so they set more quickly. If you live in a climate with freezing temperature weather (and there's no wind) place the pan outside of your doorstep. If you have neither of these, you'll just have to wait quite a bit longer for the bites to set.
--Once the Rolo on the bites are firm once again, peel the bites off of the parchment paper, Store in an air tight container and enjoy!
