I won't lie to you. I do make a ridiculous amount of candy this time of year, some types more involved than others. The more complicated varieties come together when the elves are at school or in bed to avoid holidaycandymakingstress, a real condition. This however, is an easy recipe for delicious candy treats that even preschool elves can make by your side. Around here we call them reindeer noses. To make your own, you'll need:ring-shaped pretzels (can be hard to find...Meijer's store brand has them or just use mini pretzels)
rolo candies
m&m's
First, unwrap the rolos. Put the rolos on a baking sheet and throw them an inner tube/pretzel ringing each rolo. (If you are using a different shaped pretzel just place your rolo on top and call it a raft.) Place in a preheated 275 degrees oven for 4-5 minutes.
Remove from oven. Immediately press a m&m into the center of each melty rolo. Leave the candies on the baking sheet until they are cool and hardened.
That's it...*really.* Place on a festive dish and enjoy! *Linking some good advice here about embracing holiday baking shortcuts (and I'm totally with Jen on the 80% off gingerbread in the attic ; )

ReplyDeleteDid I forget to warn you all...these candies are REALLY addictive. I don't recommend being in the house alone with a batch of them. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat a great idea, it looks like a fun recipe.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome!!! If you haven't tried them, I highly recommend them. I think the most time consuming part is unwrapping the Rolos!
