Good morning!  A few days ago I warned told you that more XOXO pretzel ideas would be coming! Well, I’m on a roll and got a big bag of pretzels to use.  This idea came about while I was making the Snack Mix for Valentine’s Day and another idea popped into my head while I was making these XOXO Hugs & Kisses … Pretzels + Rolos!

You have made the little sandwiches out of pretzels and Rolos before … haven’t you?  They are so easy to make and taste pretty dang good … crunchy pretzels with salt, milk chocolate and gooey caramel … one of my favorite flavor combos!

I used the same Tic Tack Toe pretzels from Target that I used in the Snack Mix.  Click here for all the info.

The adorable lip and heart candies are the icing on the cake … sorry, the decoration on the Rolos 😉

Hugs & Kisses Pretzels would make excellent gifts!  I used the long cello bags that are normally used for pretzel rods …

These packs are being delivered to a few girlfriends at coffee this morning.  They’ll taste great with a nice hot latte or cup of tea!

This is what you will need …

XOXO Hugs & Kisses … Pretzels + Rolos

• 1 package (11 ounces) Hershey’s Rolo candies (approximately 50)
• 100 pretzels (50 X’s and 50 O’s)
• 50 Lip or Heart Candies/Sprinkles

1. Unwrap/remove foil from Rolo candies.  Sort out whole pretzels (broken ones make great snacks), 50 X’s and 50 O’s.  Heat oven to 350°F.   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.  Arrange X pretzels on prepared baking sheet and top with a Rolo.  Bake for 3 to 5 minutes … just until candy is soft and slightly melted.
2. Remove from oven and top each Rolo with an O pretzel, press down slightly.
3. Add a Lip or Heart candy to the center of each O, press down slightly.  Let cool until chocolate hardens or pop them in the fridge for a few minutes (be sure that the baking pan is cooled).

I gotta to go now … need to shower and get some clothes on before I meet my friends for coffee and bring them an early Valentine’s Day treat!
