	Pretzel Candy

See the Activities section for more instructions, hints and tips.

These are quick, easy, and delicious! Children can help make these with a little supervision. They are great for last minute party snacks or school treats because they are so fast, easy to make, and there is very little cleanup.

A bag of Rolo™ contains about 50 candies which is enough for two trays.

• Heat the oven to 250 degrees.
• Place the parchment paper or aluminum foil on the baking tray.
• Position the pretzels on the parchment paper, spacing them about 1" apart.
• Place a candy in the center on each pretzel.
• Put the tray into the oven for 2 to 4 minutes. You just want the candy to soften, not melt.
• When the candy starts to soften, they will change shape. Remove the tray from the oven.
• While the candy is still warm, carefully place a pecan half on each candy, squish or flatten the candy out with the nut. Be careful because the pan will still be hot.
• Let cool - you can put them in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes to speed it up. Then place in an airtight container.

For the candy, you can also use Hershey™ chocolate or candy cane kisses, Reese's™ Peanut Butter Bells, or your favorite chocolate. It just needs to be about the same size as a Rolo™.

You don't have to use pecans, either. You can substitute your favorite nut or a colorful piece of candy like almond M&M™ or a peppermint swirl.
