Valentine's Day Caramel Pretzel Bites
Ingredients
- 60Pretzel Snaps
the square shaped pretzels
- 60Rolo candies
unwrapped
- Valentine's Mix M&M's
pink, red, and white m&m's
- heart shaped OR Valentine's Day colored sprinkles
Directions
- 1
Heat oven to 250°. Line a cookie sheet with parchemnt paper, silpat liner, or tin foil.
- 2
Lay the pretzels on the cookie sheet. Place an unwrapped Rolo on the center of each pretzel square.
- 3
Bake for 4-5 minutes. You just want the chocolate to look glossy. The Rolo should not be broken, it should still look like the Rolo shape.
- 4
Immediately place a m&m on the top of each Rolo and gently press down. Sprinkle the warm chocolate with sprinkles. * I work one row at a time when I do this. Place the m&m's onto one row of pretzels and then go back and sprinkle some sprinkles on each one. I then repeat with the remaining rows.
- 5
Let cool down at room temperature (so the chocolate can firm back up) for about 2 hours. To speed up the cooling process place the cookie sheet in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.

Store leftovers, covered, at room temperature.
