Rolo Pretzel Bites for St. Patrick's Day are sweet and salty way to make miniature Pots O' Gold for everyone.

Rolo Pretzel Bites Pot O' Gold for (St. Patrick's Day)
You can make a pot full of these Rolo Pretzel bites in less than 20 minutes.
I'm betting you have children or grandchildren OR an office or neighborhood full of adult children who will gobble these up.
If you like to make candy recipes, you should try Frozen Gummy Bears or make old fashioned Brach's copycat nougat candy or make an Elf on the Shelf Poop Museum. Sugar cookie fudge in green or rainbow colors are an St. Patrick's Day treat idea. But don't forget about Shamrock Sugar Cookies or Lucky Charms Cookies.
How to Make St. Patrick's Day Candy
St. Patrick's Day Pot O' Gold Rolo Bites couldn't get any easier to make.
You'll line a parchment lined baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Line with pretzel squares, also known as "snaps," for some reason.
Top the corner of each pretzel with a chocolate caramel candy.

Warm the Rolo candies for 1 to 2 minutes by putting the cookie sheet in an oven that's been preheated to 250F°.

Remove from heat, adorn the top of each chocolate candy with ½ teaspoon or so of gold sprinkles. (Where do I find Sprinkles?)

Finally finish by sticking a rainbow gummy candy to each chocolate candy. These should adhere as is since you've warmed the chocolate up a bit.

Let rest on the cookie sheet for 10 to 15 minutes or until everything sets.
Recipe Notes
Don't walk away from the oven while you're softening the Rolo candies. It takes almost no time to soften candies in the oven.
You don't want to walk away and come back to a mess. But, if you do, that's why you've lined the tray with parchment paper.
If you can't find Rolos, you can substitute any other soft chocolate caramel candy like Nestle Caramel Treasures or Riesen's, although Riesen's are a bit firmer and chewier than Rolos.
You could use miniature pretzels instead of the pretzel snaps, which are square, waffle shaped pretzels.
Walmart carries multi-colored sour belt candy that you could use instead of Rainbow Airhead Extremes. or Zweet or check for anything in the candy aisle at any store that looks like a rainbow and is chewy.

Rolo Pretzel Bites (St. Patrick's Day)

Rolo Pretzel Bites (St. Patrick's Day)
Ingredients
- 16 Rolo Candies
- 16 Square pretzel snaps
- 16 Airheads Candy Xtremes Bites
- 2 Tablespoons gold candy sprinkles
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). This low temperature will gently soften the
Rolos without melting them completely.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the
pretzels in a single layer on the sheet.
Place one Rolo candy in the corner
of each pretzel, leaving space to add the rainbow candy later.
3. Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for 1-2 minutes.
Keep a close eye on them—you just want the Rolos to soften slightly, not
melt completely.
4. As soon as you remove the baking sheet from the oven, use a teaspoon to
gently pour gold sprinkles on top of each Rolo. Then, press one rainbow
candy bite in front of each Rolo to create a festive “Pot O’ Gold” look.
5. Allow the treats to cool and set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
This will give the Rolos time to firm up again, making them easy to hand
