Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the waffle-style mini pretzel twists evenly on the tray.
Place one unwrapped Rolo in the center of each pretzel.
Bake for 3–4 minutes, until the Rolos are glossy and soft.
Press ONE topping gently into each melted Rolo while they're warm.
Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on select bites.
Cool the clusters to room temperature or pop them in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes until firm.
