Reindeer Noses (Rolo Pretzel Bites)
These leveled up Reindeer Noses, (also known as Rolo Pretzel Bites) are so simple and require only three ingredients - waffle or mini pretzels, Rolos and M&M's!
Ingredients
- 45 mini waffle pretzels
- 45 dark chocolate salted caramel Rolos
- 45 red and green peanut butter M&M's
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Place the pretzels on the baking tray and top each pretzel with an unwrapped Rolo.
- Place in the oven for about 3 minutes, they should look glossy but will still be holding their shape.
- Carefully remove from the oven and immediately press one M&M in to each Rolo.
- Let the treats cool completely before touching or serving! (You can throw the tray in to the refrigerator for a few minutes to help speed it up if necessary.)
Notes
A couple of tips for this recipe:
- If you can't find the salted caramel Rolos, you can absolutely use plain Rolos! Depending on what you like you could also use Hershey Kisses, Dove with caramel or even mini Milky Ways. (I do like the way the Rolos roll down a little - they look so cute!
- If you are not a fan of peanut butter or have a peanut allergy in your house, there are LOTS of different flavor M&M's you can use - I love the combination of caramel and peanut butter but they have plain, peanut, brownie, cookie dough - just pick one you like!
- I like to press the M&M's in with the M's facing down so they don't show.
- Be very careful pushing in the M&M's and keep a paper towel by your side to wipe your hands if you accidentally hit the chocolate - you don't want chocolate finger prints all over the M&M's. Just gently drop the M&M on the top of the warm Rolo and use just the tip of your finger to press down!
- You can make as many of these as you like, you just need equal amounts of each ingredient. I put 45 because that was about how many Rolo's were in the bag, but feel free to do more - you will be shocked how fast they disappear!
