Rolo Pretzels

It cracked me up that someone actually asked for the recipe for this.  It seems quite obvious, but I won't be judgmental.  At least for the next thirty seconds, anyway.  Many people who make this put pecans or walnuts on top - which takes it to the next level, but I am too cheap.

One bag Rolo candies, unwrapped (duh - hey, thirty seconds is up)
One bag small pretzels - the ones that look like a floppy figure 8

Heat oven to 350.  Put one Rolo on top of each pretzel (duh - oops, sorry).  Bake for about 8 minutes, until the Rolos just start to melt.  Cool until firm -  this may take about an hour.

If you want to be all fancy-pants for holidays, top with appropriate color M&Ms right as they come out of the oven.  It's dangerous decorating because the caramel is molten-lava hot.  Red for Christmas, pastels for Easter, and so on.  You get it.
