Rolo pretzel treats

Be forewarned that these are addicting since they are both salty and sweet and the perfect bite size to be popped in your mouth. They are simple to make and can be themed for any holiday based on the color m&m's you use. Perfect for your next get together.

Rolo Pretzel Treats
Yield: about 45 candies

Ingredients:
1 package (11 oz.) Rolo candy, unwrapped
small pretzels
M&M candies
 
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Place pretzels in single layer on parchment lined cookie sheet. Place one Rolo on each pretzel.

Bake 3-5 minutes or until caramel begins to soften, but not melt. Remove cookie sheet from oven and immediately press an M&M into the top of the Rolo, pushing down so the Rolo fills the pretzel. Let cool completely.

Whole Wheat Oatmeal Muffins

One of the things I dreamt about was being able to cook with my child. Now that day is here and my daughter loves to "help" cook. She pulled up a chair and helped put the muffin liners in the tin and mix all of the dry ingredients into the bowl. As she anxiously watched them bake in the oven, it was all I could do to let them cool down before she had to taste her hard work. They are truly kid and mother tested and approved. These are full of oatmeal to keep you full and not too sweet. They are also perfect to be frozen and defrosted on busy mornings.
