Best of all, if your children were nice enough to let you know in advance that they need a snack for the party, you can make these 2 to 3 days ahead of time. And, if you and the kids happen to eat them all before the party, it won’t take long to make another batch.

Great for Grown-Ups Too

    I wish you could come to my house and make this to me. Or ship it to me. But that would get really messy, wouldn’t it?

    I love Nilla Wafers and pudding! When I saw this recipe I knew I wanted to try it. I’ve tried others like this before but not this one. Pinning!

  3. 5 stars
    WOW! This is gorgeous and looks so super yummy! I can’t wait to try this recipe and please the crowd!

  4. Can you use the microwave instead of the oven? I want to make these with my students.

    1. Yes, placing them on a plate and using the microwave should be fine. It shouldn’t take long at all for the chocolate to melt slightly. I would just keep a close eye on them.

  5. Help! I made them last night and put them in a Tupperware container and most of the rolls look almost white now?! Do you think they weren’t completely cool before I closed the lid? Should I not keep them in an airtight container?

    1. Oh no, that must be very disappointing. It sounds like chocolate bloom. From what I have read it sounds like moisture or temperate changes can cause the chocolate to bloom so it could be from storing them before they have cooled or storing them in too humid of an environment. I had the same issue for the first time this past Christmas when I made Hershey kiss pretzels. The following day the chocolate kisses had all nearly all bloomed.

  6. I just made this tonight for the first time for tomorrow for St. Patty Day. It was quick and easy. I only had mine in the oven for about a min. or so when chocolate started to melt I have an old oven. My only problem is the Rolos kindof melted off the edge of the pretzels. Thanks for posting this on Pinterest I will probably make them again.
