Caramel Cashew Pretzels

Caramel cashew pretzels don’t last long at my house.  They don’t last long when I make them for parties either.  They are the perfect combo of sweet and salty!

To make them you’ll need: pretzels, whole cashews (or another kind of nut if you don’t like cashews), Rolo candies, and a cookie sheet.

Step 1)  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2)  Have your kids fill the cookie sheet with pretzels while you begin to unwrap and eat the Rolos.

Step 3)  While you continue to unwrap and eat the Rolos (this takes a long time) have your kids start putting one Rolo on each pretzel.

Step 4)  After each pretzel has a Rolo on top, put them in the oven for 1-2 minutes or just long enough for the Rolos to begin to melt.  Don’t over melt them!!

Step 5)  Take the cookie sheet full of pretzels and barely melted Rolos out of the oven and place one cashew on top of each Rolo.  Press gently down on the cashew so that it sticks into the Rolo.  *Please note the cookie sheet will be HOT so make sure you supervise your kids closely as they put the cashews on.

Step 6)  Let the caramel cashew pretzels sit until the cookie sheet is cool enough to put in the fridge.  Then put them in the fridge for an hour or so to let the Rolos harden up.

Step 7) Enjoy!  YUMMMM!!
