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
