Make-Ahead and Storage:

Can I make these pretzel bites ahead of time?

Yes. These pretzel bites can be made several days in advance. As long as you keep them in a cool, dry, area of the house, they can last for days
Storing: Store pretzel bites, covered with wax paper between layers at room temperature.

Do I have to use Rolos Candy?

No, any chocolate candy that you think would go well with M&Ms and pretzels can be substituted for Rolos

What kind of chocolate candy pairs well with pretzels?

  • sea salt caramels
  • Hershey's Kiss - any variation
  • Reese's - although I don't think I'd push the center of these down
  • miniature Hershey bars
  • mini snickers
  • candy melts
