Ingredients
Scale
- 36 mini pretzel twists
- 36 Rolo candies
- 36 pecan halves
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Arrange the pretzels on the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving about half an inch between each one.
- Unwrap the Rolo candies. Place one Rolo, flat side down, in the center of each pretzel (caramel side up).
- Bake for 3-4 minutes, until the Rolo is softened and glossy but not fully melted.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press a pecan half into each Rolo, gently but firmly.
- Optional: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while the caramel is still warm.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 20 minutes (or 10 minutes in the fridge) until the caramel is set.
Notes
Don’t overbake—3 minutes is usually perfect. Let cool completely before moving to avoid burns and ensure the caramel sets. Toast pecans in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes for extra flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
