Rollo Pecan Pretzel Treats

Ok – I’m sure I’m the last person in the world to know about these…

The evil college girls taught me these this weekend.

Actually Brettley (my daughter’s roommate and BFF) was the culprit.  Her mom Brennan had taught her over a break.

Fill up a cookie sheet with pretzels and then lay a Rollo candy in the center of each pretzel.

Pop these into a 300º for 5 minutes.  Then remove them, and if desired, gently press a pecan half in the center of the melty chocolate Rollo.

Let cool and harden.  We didn’t stick to this plan very well and started eating them right off the pan while they were still melty. Just for fun, we sprinkled a tiny bit of sea salt flakes on some as well.

I looked on the web and found some really cute ideas for these during seasonal times…

Instead of pecans use candy corns at Thanksgiving, or red and green M & M’s at Christmas.  Or multi-colored M & M’s anytime! Or how about some  peanuts for a little more salty sweet fetish?

It looks like they used those striped Kisses intead of Rollos for the Christmas ones.

These little things are delicious and addictive.  The pan was gone in less than 5 minutes.

Got any other ideas for these little babies?  I’ll be making these now for a long time!

YUM!
