Ingredients
- 40 mini pretzels (square or regular)
- 40 chocolate covered caramel candies, unwrapped (such as Rolo)
- 40 pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Arrange Pretzels: Spread the mini pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even melting of the candies.
- Add Candies: Place one unwrapped chocolate covered caramel candy on top of each pretzel, making sure each pretzel is evenly topped.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 4 minutes, which softens the candies for easy pressing without melting completely.
- Press Pecans: Immediately after removing the pan from the oven, gently press a pecan half onto the top of each softened candy to secure it in place and add a crunchy texture.
- Chill: Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour to allow the candies to cool and set firmly before serving.
Notes
- Use either square or regular mini pretzels based on your preference; both work well.
- To easily remove the bites from the foil or parchment, lift by the edges once chilled.
- Store leftover pretzel bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- For faster setting, you can increase chill time but avoid freezing to maintain texture.
- These bites are perfect for parties or as a sweet snack and can be made ahead of time.
