Rolo Pretzel Turtles - The Nerd's Wife

Remember back in February when my niece moved to Denver?

During her last weekend in Texas, we made these Rolo Pretzel Turtles together.

I don’t know why I never posted this, but as I’m in New Mexico this week, I thought it would be a good post from way back when.

These are so much fun to make — you can have your kids help!

And the chocolately carmel goodness of the Rolo candies is *fabulous* combined with the saltiness of the pretzels.

Y.U.M.

Rolo Pretzel Turtles

Ingredients:

Salted mini pretzels

Individually-wrapped Rolo chocolate candies

M&Ms

Pecan halves

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lay the pretzels in a single layer on a foil-covered, flat baking sheet.

You don’t want them touching each other. Give ’em a little room.

Unwrap the Rolo candies.

A few may be sacrificed during this process to satisfy hungry babies. That’s ok.

When you’re ready to move on, grab a Rolo and place it on top of a pretzel.

Repeat until all each pretzel has a Rolo.

I like to think of them as little top hats.

Place in the oven for 3-5 minutes, until the Rolo candies are just beginning to melt.

Take ’em out of the oven and push a pecan half on top.

Or an M&M.

Be adventurous.

Sometimes, I squiggle a little white chocolate on the top.

I felt rebellious that day.

Enjoy!

(PS – Be sure to eat any left over candies. We don’t want those to go to waste!)
