Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

- Next add the sprinkles.
- Let the Christmas Rolo pretzel bites set for about 20 minutes at room temperature or 10 minutes in the refrigerator, and serve.
Notes
Use parchment paper: Don't skip this - you don't want your Rolo candy pretzels sticking to the baking sheet.
Soften the Rolos: You only need to give them a couple of minutes in the oven because it's just to soften the chocolate (so you can press the M&Ms into them) not to melt them. They usually take 2 minutes if they're at room temperature or 3 minutes if you had them refrigerated.
Work quickly: You need to add the M&Ms quickly, so they can adhere to the Rolos before the chocolate has set.
Make extra: You can double or triple the recipe if you want to, but work in batches so you can finish decorating them before the chocolate has set too much.
