Any Tips for Making these Easy Pretzel Treats?

They’re no-fail easy treats to make, but I recommend making these at least 3-4 hours before packaging them to allow the softened Rolos to set, especially if you plan to scoop several into a treat bag. thanksgiving pretzel treats setting

Can I Refrigerate the Pretzel Treats?

Depending on where you live, if humidity is high, condensation droplets will sit on the Rolos, and the pretzels may get soggy when left out after a time. 

I prefer storing pretzel treats in an airtight container and leaving it outside on the counter vs. popping the treats in the refrigerator.

What Pretzels Can I Use?

For this recipe, I recommend using the mini twists pretzels or the pretzel snaps.

Can I use any M&Ms?

While we use milk chocolate M&Ms, you can choose your choice of M&Ms.

If you prefer peanut M&Ms or the peanut butter chocolate M&Ms, go for it!Thanksgiving Pretzel Treats- Easy 3 Ingredient Thanksgiving Treat Recipe
