Today’s recipe is a delicious treat of salty pretzels, creamy rich caramel filled chocolate and topped with a candy or nut of your choice.
This is another one of those recipes that came from my Granny’s recipe box. This handwritten card caught my eye because it mentioned chocolate and pretzels. Chocolate and salt with caramel thrown in.. these are insanely addictive, delicious and fun to make. Princess helped me make them and devour the ones that were *oopsies* I mean really, we couldn’t give the teachers the ones that the chocolate softened so much that the caramel started to ooze out. Sheesh, we have some pride in our work 
Recipe: Rollo Topped Pretzels
Ingredients
- mini pretzels
- bag of rollo candies
- toppings: m&m’s and walnuts are our preference
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 250
- Place the pretzels on a cookie sheet
- Place a rollo in the center of each pretzel
- Place in the oven for about 5 minutes, just long enough for the rollos to soften.
- Remove from the oven and top with the m&m’s or walnuts
- Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Variations
* if you happen to LOVE peanut butter and chocolate, substitute mini peanut butter cups for the Rollos

Okay, your recipe definitely sound yummier than mine – chocolate, caramel and pretzels versus veggie spaghetti – bit of a no contest! I’ll definitely be giving those yummy treats a try!!
April, I’m one of those weirdos who doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth. The idea of veggie spaghetti sounds great even before breakfast.

I made these during Christmas but instead of rolos, just used hershey kisses. They were a HIT! I’m totally using rolos next time because those are sooo good. OH! What about using Junior Mints? Throw in the minty flavor?
So many variations!!

very informative
Thanks for writing, I really liked your most recent post. I think you should post more often, you clearly have talent for blogging!
Useful information shared..I am very glad i have seen this article.
I have a question. Once they are hardened in the fridge can I take them out and put them in a Christmas tin and mail them to someone?
Thanks, they look yummy!!!
Yes, you can Bremda. Once they cool they go right back to their normal consistancy.
Hi Brenda! yes, you certainly can. Be careful mailing them to a warm climate, though
They get a little messy that way.
You’ll definitely have a happy recipient! Happy Holidays!
These work best using the waffle pretzels and a pecan half pressed into it. Like eating a turtle. Also if you want to spend the extra money and get the good butter flavored waffle pretzels they taste even better.
Hi Shannon, That’s definitely a good way to make them, too. I have that recipe on here, too. My kids prefer them with the m&m’s and it seems the adults are split m&m’s and nuts.
I don’t know if it’s a local thing, but waffle pretzels are almost impossible to find down here! It’s crazy.
Thanks for stopping in and saying Hi
