Rolo Pretzels

Rolo Pretzels

If you are looking for an EASY treat, you are in the right place because these Rolo Pretzels are beyond easy! I think the hardest part is unwrapping all of the Rolo candies, ha!

We have a few family Christmas traditions: cinnamon rolls, lots of cookies, and Rolo Pretzels. They are a MUST make for Christmas. They are a great addition to any cookie platter or plate and everyone loves them!

The chocolate caramel candy melts onto a salty pretzel, creating a fun sweet and salty treat! Top with a M&M and you have a festive treat in a matter of minutes.

Rolo Pretzel Ingredients

You only need three ingredients to make Rolo Pretzels. I told you this recipe was easy! I like to make 40 Rolo pretzels but you can make fewer or more! Just make sure you have enough ingredients!

  • Rolos-chocolate candies filled with caramel. You can find Rolos at almost any grocery store. Look in the candy aisle.
  • Pretzels-you can use mini pretzels or small square pretzels. Both work well. If you need the recipe to be gluten-free, you can even use gluten-free pretzels.
  • M&M’s-colorful M&M’s are the perfect topping for the Rolo pretzels.

How to Make Rolo Pretzels

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Unwrap the foil paper from the Rolos. This is a good job for the kids!
  • Place the pretzels in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Place one Rolo on top of each pretzel.
  • Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 3 minutes or until the Rolo candies have just started to melt. Don’t go far! It doesn’t take the chocolate long to melt.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently press one M&M on top of each Rolo. If you want to make Rolo pretzel turtles, you can use a pecan.
  • Let the Rolo pretzels set up until the chocolate is firm. If you want to hurry the process along you can put the baking sheet in the freezer.
  • The Rolo pretzels will keep in an airtight container on the counter for one week.

Rolo Pretzel Variations

I like to top Rolo Pretzels with M&M’s. At Christmas time, I reach for red and green M&M’s, but feel free to mix up the colors for any holiday or celebration. You can also mix up the M&M flavors. Rolo pretzels are great with the following M&M’s candies:

  • Plain
  • Peanut
  • Peanut Butter
  • Caramel
  • Pretzel
  • Peppermint
  • Dark chocolate

If you don’t want to use M&M’s, you can top the Rolo pretzels with pecan halves. The Rolo pretzels will look like the classic turtle candy.

Rolo Pretzels are fun to make and eat. Kids and adults will go crazy for this sweet and salty treat. Add them to your holiday treat list NOW!

    We made this with square pretzels, Rolos, M&Ms, and pecans. They were so good. We are going to deliver them to our neighbors along with some cookies for the holidays. Perfect gift!

  2. 5 stars
    My favorite treat ever!!! I could eat hundreds of these. SO good, easy to make, and always a hit!! Iโ€™ve done it with Hershey kisses and mini peanut butter cups too but rolos are my favorite

  3. 5 stars
    Today we will be celebrating Veterans Day at our apartment complex. I will be serving these to honor them for their service! I am sure they will like them!

  4. 4 stars
    Great recipe but it seems like the temp might be a little too high. Our cashews and pecans sunk iimmediately. We waited several minutes and they were still too soft. So we took the pan outside to cool and that helped a lot.

    I will likely try 300 or even 275 the next time.
    Still a great recipe!! Thx!

    1. I do 250 to get it warm enough for 2 to 3 minutes. I wait long enough for it to glisten. I was trying to find something new because mine was pretzel and rolo in oven, and once taken out place another pretzel on top. Wait to cool to do half dipped in chocolate and then sprinkles.

    1. You can use twist pretzels. I’ve never tried Carmellos. They might ooze out too much? Let me know if you try it!

  5. 5 stars
    Easy recipe thatโ€™s fun to do with kids! Great for the holidays! I know my oven can run a little hot – so I did 300 for 3 minutes and they were perfect!

  6. I havenโ€™t made these but I noticed that the write up says 350 degrees but the recipe is still 300 which threw one baker off and they melted too quickly. Just wanted to let you know. Canโ€™t wait to try them!

  7. Can the pretzel/rolo cookies be frozen? Iโ€™m baking for my granddaughters wedding in May using pastel m&ms. Thought these would add some color to the cookie table

  8. 5 stars
    So delicious! Simple recipe, easy to follow. Itโ€™s the perfect hands-on snack for you and the kids to make on a rainy day.

  9. I so enjoy your family pictures, your clothing ideas and your wonderful recipes. I’ve made so many of them and received fantastic accolades. Wishing you and your beautiful family a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and New Year. Thank you for always being in my email!

    To a party, I bring a cake with 18 ingredients that takes hours and and these. What do people beg for more of? These. Five stars.

  11. 3 stars
    Whatever you do donโ€™t put these in a
    350 degree oven for 3 minutes! Soupy mess. Even 2-3min while the oven was cooling off was too muchโ€ฆ.off to the store and will try again.
