HOW TO MAKE ROLO PRETZEL TURTLES

Preheat the oven to a temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Gather your ingredients. You’ll need pecan halves, unwrapped Rolo candies, and mini pretzels.

Use a medium sized cookie sheet and line the sheet with parchment paper. 

Add the pretzels onto the baking sheet in a single layer. 

Top the pretzels with the unwrapped Rolo candies.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven with a cook time of 3-5 minutes. This allows the chocolate and caramel to soften, but not melt.

Carefully remove the sheet from the oven and then carefully place the pecan halves on top of the caramel candy. Push down until the soft caramel and melted chocolate are spread onto the pretzels.

Transfer the sheet to refrigerator and allow to cool and harden.

Once they are ready, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them.

To serve, remove the turtles from the refrigerator and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften before serving.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Share as gifts for your friends and family.

FAQs

Do I have to use Rolos?

You can use additional candies such as chocolate kisses, white chocolate, mini candy bars, mini peppermint patties, or mini peanut butter cups.

How do I store Pretzel Turtles?

Store turtles in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator or up to a month in the freezer. Note: Separate the turtles with parchment paper so the candies don’t stick.

Can I freeze Rolo Pretzel bites?

You can freeze these pretzel treats and store them in an airtight container for up to a month. Store them in rows with parchment paper in between to keep the candies from sticking to each other.

Can I make Rolo Pretzel Turtles in the microwave?

Absolutely! If making these treats in the microwave, you will place the pretzels onto a microwave-safe plate. Top the pretzels with the unwrapped Rolo candies and heat them for 20-30 seconds before topping them with the pecan halves.
