Photos of Sweet and Salty Snacks - Regular or Gluten-Free
Be creative in choosing your ingredients. My senior aunt has dental issues and cannot handle hard pretzels. My son requires gluten-free pretzel crisps. By choosing different candies you can really widen your flavor options!
These make wonderful holiday gifts/treats!
Cooling takes longer than you might expect, especially if your kitchen is warm. I had so many batches to make, I cheated a little by placing my treats under a fan to speed up cooling.
After completely cooling, I placed my treats in foil-lined holiday food gift boxes.
Remove baking sheet from oven at the first sign of glistening (or even before if you overheated the first batch!)
Remove your items from heat, ASAP, to discourage additional melting. If desired, sprinkle a little sea salt across chocolates. Now, you get to add your candies white the chocolate is still warm.
Place one unwrapped Rolo on the center of each crisp, pretzel or cracker.
I found that a baking rack over parchment paper on a cookie sheet was the easiest way and make for less cleanup.
I highly recommend lining your cookie sheet with parchment paper, whether you use a baking rack or not. Despite your best efforts, there are bound to be drips of melted chocolate.
Preheat oven to 200°F.
