I’ve got an easy peasy little holiday treat for you today. Just three simple ingredients, about 5 minutes, and you’ve got a fun and festive treat that everyone will love. They make a super festive addition to cookie trays and dessert tables during the holiday season.

I make these Rolo Pretzel Buttons for Christmas but they are also great for parties, game day, etc. I use pastel colored M&M’s for Easter, red for Valentines’ Day, green for St. Patrick’s Day, and so on.

This recipe is easily doubled or tripled if you need to make a lot. And you do. Trust me.

Please line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This is basically for just in-case you leave the candies in for a minute too long and the caramel runs out of the Rolos. I’ve heard that if you get distracted and leave them in too long… this can happen. Speaking for a friend.

Trish’s Tips

I like to use the pretzels that look like a grid. They are square and really hold up well. Classic mini twists are also perfect for this recipe. The candies get popped in the oven for just a few minutes.

You basically want to soften the chocolate enough that it will give easily when you press the M&M into the top but not soft enough that the caramel runs out of the center.

Three minutes is the sweet spot for me but I recommend checking at two minutes just to be safe.

These Rolo Pretzel Buttons are great as a gift. Just wrap in parchment and put in a holiday tin and you’re all set.

These little bites are pure awesome and will quickly become a go-to treat in your house – promise! Pefect for game days, holidays, parties, after-school, late night treats… you get the idea 🙂
