Recipe Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
- Pretzel snaps – I like to use the square waffle pretzels; you can use twists as well.
- Rolo’s – I used the milk chocolate Rolos. You can also use the Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Rolos.
- White candy melts – Ghirardelli is my favorite brand. Wilton or store-brand will also work.
- Sprinkles – I used a mix of festive Christmas sprinkles. Use whatever type you have on hand or colors that suit your event.

Substitutions and Additions
- Festive: For extra festive sandwiches, use Christmas Tree shaped pretzels instead of the mini pretzels. They make such an easy treat.
- Chocolate: Instead of dipping your sandwiches into white candy melts, you can also dip them into milk or dark chocolate. I just think that white gives them such a festive look.
- Toppings: Sawp out the sprinkles for chopped cookies or chopped nuts to personalize these bite-size treats.
- Different candies: You can use your favorite miniature candies in place of the Rolo candies. Reese’s Cups, Milky Way bars, or Hershey’s Kisses will work.
How to Make Christmas Pretzel Rolo Sandwiches (step-by-step directions)
Step 1: Place half of the pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 2: Top each pretzel with an unwrapped Rolo.
Step 3: Bake the pretzels in the oven for 3-4 minutes or until the Rolo starts to soften.
Step 4: While the candy is warm, top with the remaining pretzels and gently press down. Chill for 20 minutes in the fridge.
Step 5: Melt the candy wafers in a bowl in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
Step 6: Dip each sandwich halfway into the chocolate and immediately sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles.
Recipe Tips
- You do not want the candy to melt completely in the oven, so watch them closely, as oven cooking times can vary.
- If you don’t have room in your fridge for them to chill, they can cool down on the counter; they will just need about double the chill time.
- Make sure that you work quickly with the sprinkles so that the chocolate doesn’t harden before you add them.
Storing Tips
- Refrigerator: Store your leftover sausage corn chowder in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. This creamy soup reheats well, so make sure to reheat the leftovers.
- Freezing: You can freeze leftovers, but they may separate a bit and change texture slightly. They can be frozen for 2-3 months to be used on a chilly day.
- Reheating: To reheat, warm it in the microwave or a skillet on the stove until heated.
