Rolo Pretzels

Rolo Pretzels

Lee
This is another twist on using Rolo candies to make snacks or a quick dessert. Since this uses the oven but only for a short time, I find it really convenient to make this right after taking something out from the oven, then it is already hot. Only three ingredients with this, no servings or quantities for ingredients, this is a make with what you have.
