I have gotten this complicated recipe about 10 years ago when I helped my girlfriend Sue prepare for her massive Christmas Party. Sue’s boyfriend was a chef at one of the premier restaurants in Chicago so their annual Christmas Party was never ordinary, entertaining over the course of the evening massive amounts of people. I don’t know the number but I bet it was over 300. In any case we made a lot of these treats and I took some home, where my family made them disappear in 3 seconds. Since that day I make them every year for Christmas and I love them just the same. Thank You Sue. I would most likely make them more often but I am not sure if my waist line will let me.
This is such a simple treat to make that I would not be lying if I told you that my 3 year old did most of the work.
All you need is a bag of Snap shaped pretzels (square ones), 2 bags of Rolos, 6 oz of pecans and a lot of strong will. This will make about 100 pieces.
Give or take a couple, since Rolos are so good. In case you never had them they are chocolate covered caramels and they make the best additions to any dessert.
Use your kids to unwrap the rolos, hopefully not eating them all, while you preheat the oven to 350 deg.
Nothing beats a sugar high first thing in the am.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the rolo candy pieces on top of the pretzels
When the army against skinny waist is ready
place them in the oven and cook for about 5 minutes until they look slightly glossy
In the meantime prepare the rest or give your daughter scattered pretzel pieces and watch as the neurotic in her places them in a perfect line. I wonder who she got that trade from?
Remove treats from the oven and place a pecan on top pushing it into the chocolate.
Wait till they cool off and the chocolate hardens before digging in. To speed up the process you can place them in a fridge for a few minutes.
Dig in, Enjoy, Share. They really are great tasting easy to make and highly addictive. Who can say no to the salty, sweet, gooey, crunchy and nutty flavor.
Looks delicious. We make a similar one with Hershey Kisses and and M&M on top, but I really love the idea of the Rolos and pecans…..YUMMY.
Those are perfect sweet treat for the holidays!
Those must be addictive!
I’m all teary-eyed reading this post because you have given me yet another way to devour Rolos chocolates…THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Oh my! Crunchy, salty, chocolately, chewey, and nutty all at once. I think this may be the world’s most perfect snack!

Excellent way to model distorted body images and promote unhealthy relationship with food and disordered eating for your kids!

What a neat trick! They look delicious too…
Oh MY – I best hide this recipe from my husband or he will be requesting it all year long!
How cute that the little ones are helping you with this…I love the fact that one must give or take a few for obvious reasons!!
So sweet.
I know… I have been told today never to make them again and then an hour later asked to make a batch for my hubbies work.
These, I think, are both good and bad. Good because they are delicious and bad because of how the sweet and salty balance is just right so that you can’t help but continuously pop them in your mouth.
I love these! For my nut-allergic friend, I press an M&M on top.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! I am always looking for quick, delicious treats that vary a little from the average. This looks sooo delicious, and so simple. Perfect for holiday season!
What a fun and easy sweet treat! I just wish I had such cute helpers in the kitchen, though.
Just stumbled on to your site and you’ve made my month! I’ll be making those rolo candy treats for us, family, friends, and postman!! I’ve been looking for something different and EASY TO MAKE – your friend’s recipe is it – thanks!!
Oh my, I LOVE Rolo’s. Look super delicious and sooo easy to make. Perfect for a Christmas party.
These are super yummy. Just made some about 1 hour ago. I’m having problems getting the chocolate to set up enough so I can bag them up in treat bags. I even put them in the fridge for a bit. They were firm when they came out but got all melty again with they warmed up. Any tips on what to do? Do they need to be kept cold or something? Thanks!
