Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 48 pretzel snaps
- 48 Rolos, unwrapped
- 48 pecan halves
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by lining a tray with parchment paper and warming the oven to a gentle 275°F, creating an ideal environment for crafting delicate pretzel treats.
- Carefully distribute pretzel snaps across the lined tray, positioning them with strategic spacing to ensure uniform heat distribution and prevent unwanted merging.
- Delicately place a single Rolo candy atop each pretzel, positioning them centrally for balanced flavor and aesthetic appeal.
- Slide the tray into the preheated oven, monitoring closely as the Rolos transform into silky, partially melted morsels within 2-4 minutes of gentle heating.
- Swiftly extract the tray from the oven, using the residual warmth to your advantage by gently pressing a pecan half into each softened Rolo, creating an elegant swirl of caramel and chocolate.
- Allow the pretzel bites to rest and solidify at room temperature, giving them time to develop a perfect texture. For those seeking quicker gratification, a brief 10-minute refrigeration can expedite the cooling process.
Notes
- Achieve perfect texture by carefully monitoring Rolos in the oven to prevent complete melting.
- Press pecans gently into softened chocolate-caramel to create a beautiful, professional-looking treat.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and prevent pretzels from sticking to the baking tray.
- Choose room temperature cooling for a more gradual set or quick refrigeration for faster hardening.
- Select fresh, whole pecans and unwrapped Rolos for the best flavor and smoothest preparation.
- Keep pretzels evenly spaced to ensure consistent heat distribution and professional appearance.
