Rolo Salted Pretzels

I was inspired to post this recipe after seeing a similar peanut butter pretzel sandwich recipe on Instagram (via one of my favorite food bloggers @kalejunkie). Rolo Salted Pretzels were my go-to snack in high school. I don’t really know where or how I got my hands on this recipe - I think my best friends mom made it up because she used to make these for us ALL the time! These bite-sized babies are SO easy to make and are dangerously good...

INCREDIENTS

  • One bag of Rold Gold Original Pretzel Twists

  • One bag of ROLO candies

  • 2 cups chocolate morsels

  • 2 TBS butter

  • 1 TBS olive oil

  • Falksalt Crystal Flakes *I use this salt on EVERYTHING. I am truly obsessed with it and am linking it below for those interested.

DIRECTIONS

To make the Rolo pretzel sandwiches:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Place pretzels on a lined baking sheet (they will not expand in the oven, so you can cram as many of them on the baking sheet as possible).

  3. Place a ROLO on top of each pretzel with the larger side down.

  4. Bake in the oven for 3-5 minutes.

  5. Remove from the oven and quickly add a second pretzel on top of each ROLO, creating a ‘pretzel sandwich’. Let cool and set aside.

To make the melted chocolate:

  1. Place chocolate morsels into a microwave safe bowl. Add butter and olive oil.

  2. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in-between each session.

  3. Stop microwaving when the chocolate is creamy and lump-free! It will take a few minutes.

The final touch:

  1. Drizzle melted chocolate over pretzels using a fork.

  2. Immediately sprinkle Falksalt over pretzels.

  3. Enjoy! *I like to keep the pretzels in the fridge in-between munching so they stay cool and harden a bit.
