Place the pretzels on the parchment-lined tray, ensuring that they are about an inch apart to allow for even baking.
Step 3: Add Rolos
Top each pretzel snap with an unwrapped Rolo candy.

Bake in the preheated oven for 2-4 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to ensure the Rolos are just soft enough without fully melting.
Step 5: Press the Pecans
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately press a pecan half onto each softened Rolo, slightly spreading the caramel and chocolate.
Step 6: Cool the Bites
Allow the pretzel bites to cool completely at room temperature. Optionally, to hasten the cooling, refrigerate them for about 10 minutes.
