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 =)
These came out great! Thank you!
Can these be frozen? If so, any guidelines to follow? If not, how long do they last sitting on the counter?
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.
Try placing the pecans on the same cookie sheet with the pretzel/rolos. The pecans are even better toasted.
Made these for my kids, at least that was the intention. They were so good, I ate half of them. Love rolos!
I’m going to put these in cute little jars and hand them out to my bar patrons for Holiday gifts!
We made these in the fall with football pretzels…we sandwiched the candy between the pretzels then dipped them in team colored sugars…biggest hit at the bake sale =)
Did I miss whether or not these are salted pecans or raw? They do not look roasted and salted in the picture.
Has anyone tried these with toasted pecans? Not sure whether to use salted ones either .
i really do love these little treats they`re easy fun and a stress relief.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful treat!
