Rolo Pretzel Turtles Recipe

(recipe from the archives)

I’m giving you a recipe that would be fabulous for a party, something simple that even Gabby could manage in her heels! My girlfriend, Kelly, taught me how to make Rolo Pretzel Turtles, and I swear it’s the best seven-minute candy fix. The chocolate and caramel in Rolo candies softens and oozes all around the salty, crunchy pretzel. Top it off with a pecan half, and it’s a homemade treat that won’t last long in a candy dish. Well, truthfully, they probably won’t make it to the candy dish; Rolo Turtle Pretzels are addictive when they’re warm off the baking sheet. Prepare to make a double batch! I usually buy four rolls of Rolos, a bag of mini pretzels and a bag of nuts.

Rolo chocolate candies

Mini pretzels

Nuts – pecan halves (if you don’t like pecans, you can use almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

Unwrap your Rolos. Place pretzels on the baking sheet in one layer. Top each pretzel with a Rolo. Bake in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, until the chocolate just begins to melt. The Rolo candy should be soft but not completely melted. Remove from oven, use a spatula to lift the pretzels on cooling rack and immediately squish the Rolo candy with a nut. Watch the caramel ooze out!

IMPORTANT: Eat as many as you can while they are still warm!
