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
I can’t wait to see this week’s recipes! I love reading what y’all are cooking and sharing with your families!
This is a big week for us! Monkey gets out of pre-school and Princess “graduates” from kindergarten on Friday!!

Valeri Flathers - very informative
Pizza Sandys - Thanks for writing, I really liked your most recent post. I think you should post more often, you clearly have talent for blogging!
How to Make a Successful Blog - Useful information shared..I am very glad i have seen this article.
Bremda - 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!!!
Shannon - Yes, you can Bremda. Once they cool they go right back to their normal consistancy.
Shannon - 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.
Rachel - 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!
Rachel - 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
