Those Pretzel Things ( Pecan Rollo Bites)



Flip it!

My niece made these for our 4th of MAY party and they were gone before dessert was even served!

I made these for Thanksgiving one year using Teddy Grahams instead of pecans. Three of my five grandchildren are allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. My daughter made them the same way for one of the kid’s school parties.

My 5 year old daughter and I just made these for the first time tonight. It was so easy and she was able to do it all by herself except for the oven work. She didn’t want my help at all. She kept saying “I can do it by myself, okay?”. It was too cute. She was so excited about these and they came out picture perfect. It was such a confidence booster for her! Oh, yeah….and they tasted yummy too.

I was informed about this recipe for a pet bake sale to make. They turned out to be a great hit!

Since that time I have made numerious batches for us and our friends

We love it with peanut butter m&m’s.
just took a trip back east visiting family….made these when we would sit down and play cards….you truly can’t eat just one. They taste like turtles to me. hubbie said he would not eat any…as he is not a sweet eater, of course he ate the most! Only time consuming thing was unwrapping each rolo!

These are incredible! The most difficult part of this recipe is unwrapping all the rolos and not eating all the finished candies before serving them! 🙂 For future reference, there were about 54 rolos in my bag. At 6 minutes when I checked them, they were a little too melted. I’ll check them at 5 minutes next time. Also, I’m going to line the cookie sheet with foil or waxed paper next time to make clean up even easier. I used plain baking pecans this time. I have a feeling that salted pecans would make these even better!
