FAQs
Can I use other types of pretzels?
Yes, waffle or traditional pretzel shapes work well, but waffle pretzels are recommended for their sturdiness and surface area to hold the candy.
What can I substitute if I don’t have Rolos?
Hershey’s Kisses are a great substitute and melt similarly, providing a delicious chocolate center.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 30 waffle pretzels
- 30 Rolo candies
- 30 M&M candies
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for gentle melting of the chocolates without burning.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper for easy cleanup and arrange the 30 waffle pretzels in a single layer on the sheet.
- Add Rolo candies: Place one Rolo candy on top of each pretzel, ensuring each one sits securely in the center.
- Melt the chocolates: Bake the pretzels with Rolos in the preheated oven for 4 to 5 minutes, or just until the Rolo chocolates begin to soften and slightly melt.
- Add M&M candies: Remove the tray from the oven and promptly place one M&M candy on top of each melted Rolo, pressing lightly to adhere without deforming the candy.
- Optional decoration: Sprinkle your desired colorful sprinkles over the candies for extra fun and flair if using.
- Cool and set: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature so the chocolate hardens and the candies set securely before serving.
Notes
- Using a Silpat or parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
- If Hershey’s Kisses are preferred, substitute them for the Rolos for a slightly different chocolate flavor.
- Be careful not to overbake; melting the Rolo candies too long can cause them to lose shape or burn.
- Letting the candies cool fully ensures the toppings stay in place when handling.
- These treats are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispiness of the pretzels.
