Ingredients
Scale
- 36 mini pretzels (square or circle-shaped, such as Snyder’s of Hanover)
- 36 Rolo candies, unwrapped
- 36 pecan halves
- Flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Arrange pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
- Place one Rolo candy flat-side down in the center of each pretzel. Do not press down.
- Bake for 3 to 4 minutes, until the Rolo looks shiny and slightly softened but still holds its shape.
- Remove from oven and immediately press a pecan half gently into the center of each Rolo until the caramel and chocolate squish up slightly around the edges.
- If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still warm.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheet for 15 to 20 minutes until firm.
- Transfer to a cooling rack or serving plate. Serve at room temperature.
Notes
Do not overbake—3 to 4 minutes is ideal. Use room-temperature Rolos for even softening. For best texture, serve within 24 hours. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
