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 =)
This time of year you can find round pretzels, which are perfect for this. 🙂
Also try Hershey hugs for this with an m&m!!
Do you know if these can be frozen.
I’m not sure about freezing them, I’ve never tried it. They only take 10 minutes or so to make from start to finish, and will last several days (in a sealed container), so I’m not sure if there is any great need to stock up on them ahead of time.
These sound delicious! My family are allergic to nuts so we put another pretzel on top of the chocolate and made it a sandwich! Feel free to take my daughters’ idea and use it for yourself or your families!
BUT… can you freeze them for a later date? Need to know asap! Thanks.
OH! The directions on the pkg of Rolos says to ‘cook’ pretzel/rolos in oven at 350, not 250. Doubt it makes any difference, just so they don’ t melt tooooo much!
Made a variation of these, very yummy! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Made these today. They were awesome. Thanks for the recipe.
I found this idea originally on PInterest, then made them up with great results. I looked up a blog on google to link back to in my own blog. Your blog and recipe were the best choice. Good Job! Thanks, Kathy
For those allergic to nuts I use a m&m; on top.

Can you make these ahead and freeze them to use in a couple weeks?
