Sugar and Spice

Whether it’s a sweet tooth or a craving for salty delights, Rolo-topped pretzels do double duty.

Here’s our recipe for sweet gooey goodness with the perfect punch of spice for any occasion. Because really, plain old chocolate-covered pretzels are so passé.

Ingredients
Small pretzel rings or, waffle pretzels also work well
Rolo candies (same quantity as the pretzels)
Pecan halves (you can substitute with almonds or walnuts)

Method
Preheat oven to 200°C
Place the pretzels an inch or so apart on a baking sheet
Unwrap Rolos and put one candy directly on top of each pretzel
Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until you see the chocolate soften but don’t let the caramel ooze out
Take out of the oven and firmly press a pecan half into each chocolate top until it collapses on the pretzel
Feel free to let the caramel ooze out now

Allow to cool or take the risk by popping one now, it’s worth it.
