A couple of years ago, I helped organize a cookie exchange. It was a lot of fun, although baking is not one of my specialties. Getting together with friends for a little "holiday cheer" made it all worthwhile.
We are having a cookie swap at work. I asked around for "quick and easy" recipes, and someone suggested Rolo Pretzels.
I wasn't familiar with them, but quickly found a recipe. It wasn't a cookie but who cares? So I ran to the store to get the three ingredients:
ROLO PRETZEL DELIGHTS
1 bag of small twisted pretzels
1 large bag or 2 small bags Rolos
Pecans or M&Ms for topping
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Arrange the pretzels on the baking sheet, then top with unwrapped Rolos. Put in the oven for 3-4 minutes, just until the Rolos soften. Remove from oven, then top with a pecan or Christmas M&M.
The secret to making pretzel delights is to put them in the oven barely long enough for the Rolos to SOFTEN, NOT MELT.
Cool overnight, then transfer to a covered container.
Quick AND Easy! My favorite kind of recipe.
If you don't like to bake or are pressed for time, this is an easy alternative.

Enjoy!
