I’m a big fan of fancy desserts.
BUT… there are times when you just need something quick, easy and still delicious!
That’s the kind of recipe I have for you today.
In fact, I have a hard time even calling it a “recipe”, when it only has three ingredients…
Rolo (store bought chocolate/caramel candies), pretzels and pecan halves.
Bottom line, if you just threw those three things in a bowl it would be pretty yummy!
For these tasty treats, all you have to do is lay the pretzels on a baking sheet (I used these cute square ones, but the mini twists would work too). Top each pretzel with an unwrapped Rolo candy.
Bake in the oven at 250*F for 4-5 minutes (no longer).
When you remove them from the oven, the Rolo will still be in the same shape as when it went in the oven. Place a pecan half on top of the Rolo and press down a bit.
Top each of the Rolo with one pecan half.
Place the entire baking sheet in the freezer for about 5-7 minutes to allow the Rolo to cool.
Remove from freezer and enjoy! Or place in a container to enjoy later. These will last several days- probably more, but they’ve never lasted that long in our house!
These are so delicious! A great sweet-salty combo.
Enjoy!

Recipe source- I recently discovered these when a friend made some for Scrapbooking night, but I think it’s an old recipe. I imagine it’s from Rolo =)
My daughter and her friends don't care for pecans so I use peanut M&Ms; for the tops.
These look great and remind me of these pretzle treats I made a couple of months ago: http://lifestooshorttoskipdessert.blogspot.com/2010/10/its-fall-yall.html
I will try these! Sounds like a great delicious idea!
I was late discovering these little sweet bites too! A friend introduced them to me last year. SO good!
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Anonymous- I do like to give credit where it is due for recipes, but this recipe is much older than the Best Bites version. I got the reicpe from a friend, who found it in a family cookbook that is several years old.
Oh, I LOVE these!!! Thanks for the reminder!
These are actually a recipe from Our Best Bites.
Making them right now (they are cooling) as the rain pours down and my 3 year old son who has been up since 5am (could not convince him that day light savings ment he needed to go back to bed) is running races in our small hallway 🙂
Can also use a hershey's Kiss (in place of a Rolo) and an m&m; in place of the pecan…these look fabulous.
