Ingredients
- Mini pretzel twists (about 48 pieces)
- Dark chocolate Rolos (about 48 pieces, unwrapped)
- Pecan halves (about 48 pieces)
- Coconut oil (1 teaspoon)
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
- Cinnamon (optional)
- White chocolate for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the pretzels on the baking sheet in a single layer, about an inch apart, flat side up.
- Unwrap the Rolos and place one on each pretzel, centered. Do not press down.
- Bake for 3-4 minutes until the Rolo is shiny and soft but still holding its shape.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press a pecan half into each Rolo, about halfway submerged.
- Let cool completely at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, or refrigerate for 5-10 minutes to speed up setting.
- Optional: Drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with flaky sea salt while still slightly warm.
- Transfer to a serving plate or storage container using a thin spatula.
Notes
Watch the oven closely; the difference between perfect and ruined is about 45 seconds. Use room temperature Rolos and pecans for best results. Toast pecans beforehand for extra crunch. Do not overcrowd the pan. Let bites set completely before moving to avoid breaking.
