Prep 10 min · Cook 5 min · Total 20 min · Makes 24 pretzel nests
Ingredients
- 24 mini square pretzels
- 24 Rolo chocolate candies, unwrapped
- Pastel colored Sixlets chocolate candies, unwrapped, about 1/3 bag
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened, toasted coconut, very lightly crushed
Directions
- Heat the oven to 250 degrees. Arrange 24 pretzels in 1 flat layer on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, then set 1 Rolo in the middle of each pretzel.
- Transfer the pretzels topped with Rolos to the heated oven and bake for 5 minutes. Take the pan out, then lightly push 3 Sixlets into the center of each softened Rolo. Press the toasted coconut gently around the edges of the melted Rolo to form the nests.
- Move the Bird's Nest Pretzels to the freezer for 5 minutes, just until the chocolate firms up. Lift the pretzels carefully from the wax paper, using a butter knife underneath if needed, and store them in an airtight container.
