Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 48 pretzel twists mini
  • 48 Rolo candies unwrapped
  • 48 pecan halves
  • 0.5 tsp flaky sea salt

Equipment

  • 1 large rimmed baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 250°F.
  2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Place one Rolo candy in the center of each pretzel.
  5. Bake for 3–4 minutes, until the candies look glossy and softened but still hold their shape.
  6. Press one pecan half gently into each softened candy.
  7. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  8. Let the bites cool on the baking sheet until the chocolate and caramel are firm, about 45 minutes.

Notes

For the best shape, press the pecan halves in gently while the candies are softened. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; they can also be frozen. Use gluten-free mini pretzels for a gluten-free version.
