Ingredients

100 miniature waffle pretzels
50 pieces Rolo chocolates A 10.1 ounce bag is about 50 Rolos.
4 ounces white melting chocolate bark or chips
1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
3 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles any variety you like

Instructions

Melt Rolos on Pretzels

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Arrange the miniature waffle pretzels in a single layer on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
100 miniature waffle pretzels, 50 pieces Rolo chocolates
Unwrap the Rolo chocolates and place one on top of each pretzel.
Bake for 2 to 2½ minutes, just until the Rolos look shiny but still hold their shape.

Finish and Set

Remove the cookie sheet from the oven.
Place another pretzel on top of each softened Rolo and press gently.
Transfer the cookie sheet to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to let the chocolate reset.
Once set, use a spatula to lift the pretzels off the cookie sheet.

Decorate

Melt the white melting chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short 15-second bursts and stirring between each one until smooth.
4 ounces white melting chocolate, 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
Let the melted chocolate cool slightly so it thickens just a bit—this helps it cling to the pretzels instead of running off.
Dip half of each pretzel sandwich into the melted chocolate. Place it back on the parchment linked cookie sheet.
Add the Christmas sprinkles right away so they stick before the chocolate sets.
3 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles
Allow the chocolate to set, or if you are in a hurry, stick the pan in your refrigerator for 10 minutes or so.

Notes

Storage

Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Keep it away from direct sunlight so the chocolate does not soften and smear. For cookie exchanges or gifts, make this pretzel and rolo recipe 1 to 2 days ahead.
Refrigerator: Refrigerate cooled rolo pretzel bites in a covered container (with parchment between layers) for up to 3 weeks, then let them sit at room temperature before serving.
