Holiday Pretzel Treats

Salty pretzels combine with sweet chocolate for these fun treats that make a yummy gift few can resist. (In fact, you may want to make some extras for yourself!)

Bite-size, waffle-shaped pretzels (I find mine at Target) (1-bag)
Rolo Candies (2 bags)
Pecan halves (1 large bag)
(This will make a couple pan fulls)

(Can also be made using Hershey's Kiss or Hershey's Hug and M&M's candy)

Step 1 Heat the oven to 170º. Fill a cookie sheet with waffle-shaped pretzels (one for each treat) in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, then top each pretzel with an unwrapped Rolo.

Step 2 Bake for 4 to 6 minutes until the chocolates feel soft when touched with a wooden spoon. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and quickly press a pecan half into the center of each Rolo.

Step 3 Allow the treats to cool for a few minutes, then place them in the refrigerator to set, about 10 minutes. Place handfuls of the candies in decorative jars, tins, or clear plastic bags and tie on colorful ribbons. I brought some to a potluck family gathering in a gift-wrapped shoe box with tissue paper inside. It looked very cute and festive!

My kids LOVE helping me make these! They are so easy and the oven is set so low I don't have to worry much about anyone getting burned. They always turn out great and everyone loves them. They look so fancy and fun that everyone usually wants the recipe, of course then they'll know just how easy they are to make! :o)

The last time I made these, after cooling, I drizzled dark and white chocolate over the top of them and they looked (and tasted) divine!
