Instructions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the pretzel snaps on the tray in a single layer, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
  3. Place an unwrapped Rolo on top of each pretzel.
  4. Put the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 2 to 4 minutes, just until the chocolate becomes soft but still holds its shape. Avoid overbaking.
  5. Take the tray out of the oven and immediately place a pecan half on each Rolo, pressing it gently so it sticks and the chocolate spreads.
  6. Allow them to cool completely on the counter before serving. If needed, refrigerate for about 10 minutes to speed up the cooling process. Enjoy!
