Rolo Turtle Pretzels

Pretzel Turtles are hands down one of our favorite Holiday treats. These are SO EASY to make and a fun recipe to have the kids make. Well, it’s a stretch to call this a recipe because there are only 3-ingredients and takes only 15 minutes to make. They’re crunchy, salty, sweet, and loaded with chocolate and caramel. This is an easier version of the traditional turtle candy.

We make these for every Holiday party knowing that everyone will love them and they are so quick to make.

Ingredients you will need:

• 1 bag of Rolos
• mini pretzels
• pecan halves

How To Make Turtles With Pretzels

These are also great if you have a large amount of gifts to give out for Christmas. You can easily double, triple, etc… to make hundreds of these to neighbors, friends, teachers, first responders, mail carriers, family and more!

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2. Place mini pretzels in a single layer onto a silicone mat (or parchment paper) lined baking sheet
3. Place unwrapped Rolo on top of each pretzel
4. Bake for 2-3 minutes, or until the rolos have softened
5. Gently press a pecan in the center of the melted Rolo
6. Let cool
7. Store in airtight containers and enjoy!

You can decorate pretzel turtles with a drizzle of melted chocolate (white or dark) or caramel sauce as well.

Can You Freeze Rolo Turtle Pretzels?

You sure can! Place in the freezer for 2-3 months if you want to make these ahead of time.

Can I Make Pretzel Turtles in the Microwave?

Yes! You definitely can, but we recommend making these in the oven. Microwaves are small and you will have to make small batches which will take longer. If you want to make a small amount, place in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until the chocolate is soft enough to press on the pecan.

How Do You Store Pretzel Turtles?

Store pretzel turtles at room temperature or in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Place a piece of parchment paper between each layer so the chocolate and caramel doesn’t stick together. Keep at room temperature and out of warm places to prevent any melting.

Tips For Making Chocolate Rolo Pretzel Turtles

• For a different flavor you can toast your pecans first, or try making pretzel turtles with my Easy Candied Pecan Recipe.
• Make sure you press your pecans into the candy right away, while they’re still soft enough to form around the pecan and stick.
• Check up the candy by adding a Reese’s peanut butter up topped with chopped peanuts or a Hugs Peppermint Hershey’s Kiss with red/green M&M’s. Get creative!
• Add these to a decorative mason jar or tin to give away as holiday gifts!
