Tiny Bites You Can’t Put Down…..

December 2, 2011 by Heather Tallman with 4 comments
Just when you thought you had seen it all…along comes these little gems.  I am telling you I have never made anything easier.  Ever.  Well, except peanut  butter and Jelly.
I have been making these for what seems like my whole life.  I make them in the hundreds and that is no joke.  I give them to practically everyone I know.  They are an unbeatable combination of salty and sweet.  Gooey and crunchy.  Try to beat it…I dare you!
I love them because they look like little frogs.  Tiny little pop-em in your mouth and go little presents and you can’t eat just one.  You will be lucky to walk away without eating 4 or 5.  4 is my magic number ;)
There isn’t much of a recipe to go along with these.  On parchment lined cookie sheets I lay out pretzel ‘grids’ or small sized ‘braids’ .  On top of each I place 1 unwrapped (duh ;) Rollo.  Then I pop them in the oven at 250 degrees until just softened.  This may take 4 minutes or so.
Then, after I take them out I place 1 whole pecan on top and squish it down slightly.  That’s it!  Once these have cooled and become more solid store in an airtight container.
I have also made these using a Hershey’s Hug (swirled white and dark chocolate) in a circle pretzel and then once soft I add 1 red and 1 green M & M.  They look like little wreaths.
Yes, this is simple and yes, you may have made these before.  But some of the best things I make and give at Christmas time are simple.  But it is from the heart and to me that is ALL that counts :)
