Ingredients
Scale
- 24 mini pretzels (salted preferred)
- 24 Rolo candies (regular or mini; sugar-free or dark chocolate options work)
- Flaky sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange 24 mini pretzels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Unwrap 24 Rolo candies and place one on top of each pretzel, flat side down.
- Bake for 3 to 4 minutes, until the Rolo softens and just starts to lose its shape (chocolate should be shiny, caramel slightly puffed).
- Remove from oven and immediately press a second pretzel gently on top of each Rolo until the caramel squishes out slightly around the edges.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt (optional).
- Let cool completely on the baking sheet for 15 to 20 minutes until the caramel sets.
Notes
Use room-temperature Rolos for even melting. Do not overbake; the Rolo should be soft, not melted into a puddle. Let cool completely before moving to prevent caramel from sliding off. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a vegan version, use dairy-free caramel candies and vegan pretzels.
