Ingredients
Scale
Pretzel Bites
- 80 square pretzel bites
- 40 Rolo candies
Coating
- 10 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- Sprinkles or nonpareils for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit to gently warm the pretzels and melt the Rolo candies.
- Prepare Pretzels and Rolos: Arrange 40 pretzel bites on a baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Top each pretzel with one Rolo candy to prepare for melting.
- Melt Rolos: Bake the pretzels with the Rolos in the oven for 5 minutes until the caramel chocolates soften but do not completely melt away.
- Top With Pretzels: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and quickly press another pretzel bite on top of each melted Rolo to sandwich the caramel between pretzels. Allow them to cool completely to set the caramel.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate wafers by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each to achieve a smooth consistency without burning.
- Dip and Decorate: Dip each pretzel bite sandwich into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place dipped bites on parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with nonpareils or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Store: Once the chocolate has hardened, store the pretzel bites in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Make sure to press the top pretzel gently but firmly on the warm Rolos to create a good seal without squishing out the caramel.
- Use parchment paper to prevent the white chocolate from sticking while setting.
- Use high-quality white chocolate melting wafers for the best coating texture and flavor.
- Allow the chocolate coating to set at room temperature or in the fridge for quicker firming.
- Feel free to customize sprinkles for different occasions or themes.
