I just hosted a card class and I love to serve something yummy – easy desserts for a crowd can be fussy but not with these! I made a treat that I typically make at Christmas – reindeer noses! Now, I know it is the middle of the summer but these are the perfect quick-to-make, pop-in -our-mouth treats and to be honest, I had a craving for them! Several of the girls were just dying to have the recipe! So here it is!!!! I think this is going to be my signature dessert for a crowd from now on! Here is the recipe for these yummy Salty Sweet Pop-able treats!
Ingredients: Butter Snap square pretzels, bag of Rolos, and a bag of M&Ms. When I make these I typically get the large bag of Rolos because there have been known to be some Rolo thieves in my family! I usually have some of each item left over!
Instructions:
- Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees
- While the oven is preheating, unwrap the Rolos (this is the most time consuming of the steps which is why I buy extra Rolos. I usually recruit my boys to help unwrap and their payment is to eat a few! Unfortunately, they also steal some!!
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
- Place the pretzels on the paper/mat.
- Place one Rolo on each pretzel. When each pretzel has a Rolo pop the pan in the oven. It will only take about 5 minutes or so. Keep an eye on the chocolate. When you notice the chocolate getting shiny, take the pan out. WARNING- if you leave it in too long the chocolate will allow the caramel to seep out. You just need them melted enough to press them down a bit!
- Pop an M & M on top of each Rolo and press down just a bit.
- Enjoy!
- Tip: I put the entire tray of completed treats right into the freezer. Once they are hard I put them in a zip top baggie. If they are in the freezer for more than a day they tend to get a white coating on the chocolate- they are still edible but just not as attractive. I typically make them earlier in the day on the day I’m serving them or the night before.
When these are served shortly after taking them out of the freezer there is no worry about getting chocolate on our projects! They make the perfect treat for card parties!
Here is a card we made while we enjoyed the Salty-Sweet Pop-able Treats! Check back soon for the card “recipe” and in meantime, go fire up your own batch of this favorite from my easy desserts for a crown lineup!
