I’m obsessed.

With these and T Swift’s Blank Space. I know. #hatersgonnahatehatehate

I’m ususally more of an indie rock/folksy/old-school-rock-and-roll kind of girl, but I mean, have you seen the video? That long, black, lacy dress? I die.

I also die when it comes to these Rolo pretzel bites. It’s that sweet and salty combination–I’m telling ya, it’s killer. Seriously, pretzels and chocolate are a match made in heaven. I’ve yet to get behind that whole potato chip and chocolate business, but I am all for the chocolate covered pretzels.

(ALERT: I have jumped on the potato chip board. These Sweet & Salty Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are insanely delish!)

I’m also allllll about the chocolate caramel covered pretzels (thank you, Rolos).

This salty and sweet phenomenon is perhaps one of the easiest things on the planet to make, which is a blessing and a curse.

The blessing stems from the fact an incredible dessert can be made almost effortlessly. Within five minutes, you’ve got yourself a fantastic treat that is suitable for any (and I mean any-i.e. work, jury duty, parties, celebratory post-workout snack) occasion.

The curse lies in the fact that they are so effortlessly simple. Because, let me tell you, it takes an insane amount of willpower to eat only one. In fact, if you’re not careful, the entire batch will be gone in seconds.

Don’t ask me how I know this.

Now, the first time I saw these things, some friends of mine had made them with pecans instead of M&Ms (more like Rolo Pretzel Turtles).

However, I’m not a nut person. Entirely.

Back in yesteryears, nuts and I were not the best of friends.

They were always the thing that belonged in trail mix, and the one thing I never pestered the heck out of my brother for when he (excitedly) got them in his stocking every year (now he’s vegan and it’s practically all he eats–I should’ve seen this one coming).

It took me a long (and I mean long) while before I discovered the wonders of peanuts (honey roasted are INSANE–I was introduced back when airlines actually served free snacks–what is this business with them charging for EVERYTHING), almonds, and macadamia nuts.

But, I’ve yet to discover the wonder of pecans on these pretzel bites. I don’t have a legitimate reason for it, but I don’t know, they just look weird. And nutty.

Soooo, I opted for M&Ms and peanut M&Ms. Such a good decision. It was like a salty sweet snickers.

Holy cow.

These Rolo Pretzel Bites are insanely easy to make and insanely delish. Sweet and salty desserts rock.
