A quick and easy snack combining salty pretzels, sweet melted Rolos, crunchy toasted pecans, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a cozy, comforting treat perfect for autumn gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mini pretzels (about 100 grams)
  • 1 standard bag Rolo candies (about 36 pieces)
  • 1 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped (about 120 grams)
  • Pinch or two of flaky sea salt (Maldon or kosher salt flakes)
  • Optional: butter or cooking spray (for toasting pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Toast the pecans: Spread 1 cup of roughly chopped pecans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the oven for 8-10 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through toasting evenly. Remove and let cool.
  3. Arrange about 2 cups of mini pretzels in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  4. Place one Rolo candy on top of each pretzel. If the Rolos are sticky or cold, gently squish with your fingers to settle.
  5. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes until the Rolos soften and start melting but retain shape. Watch closely.
  6. Remove the baking sheet and gently press a toasted pecan piece onto each melted Rolo.
  7. Sprinkle each bite with a pinch or two of flaky sea salt.
  8. Let the bites sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to firm up. Alternatively, refrigerate for 10 minutes to speed up setting.

Notes

Watch the oven closely when melting Rolos to avoid burning. Toast pecans evenly by shaking the pan halfway through. Use room temperature Rolos for even melting. Do not overcrowd pretzels on the baking sheet. Flaky sea salt enhances flavor contrast. Refrigerate bites to speed up setting if desired.
