My Kitchen Essentials
- I love using this non-stick bakeware for all of my baking.
- These silicone mitts are perfect for grasping hot pans and baking dishes.
- This Henckel Knife is my favorite for slicing and dicing in the kitchen.
- These parchment paper bags are perfect for packaging and these large Rubbermaid food storage containers are great for storing baking in the freezer.
Ingredients
- Mini Pretzels
- Rolo Chocolates, unwrapped
- Pecan halves
Tip: pretzel rods, large pretzels, pretzel twists, pretzel sticks or square pretzels can be used instead of mini ones.
Instructions
1. Simply cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place pretzels on the sheet.
2. Top each pretzel with an unwrapped Rolo candy.
3. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes. Tip: watch them carefully! You need the Rolo to be just starting to melt.
4. Upon removing from the oven immediately press a pecan into the top of the melting Rolo.
5. Allow them to cool down and voila! Delicious sweet and salty turtle pretzels!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of pretzels for this recipe?
Absolutely! While the classic version usually uses mini pretzel twists, you can try pretzel rods, squares, or even pretzel sticks. Each type gives a slightly different crunch and shape, so feel free to experiment and find your favorite.
How should I store my Rolo turtle pretzels to keep them fresh?
To keep your Rolo turtle pretzels at their best, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to a week (if they last that long before getting eaten!). Avoid direct sunlight and heat to prevent the chocolate from melting.
Can I make these pretzels in advance for a party?
Definitely! These treats are perfect for making ahead of time. You can prepare them a day or two before your event, and they’ll still taste just as delicious. Just store them properly in an airtight container, and they’ll be ready to impress your guests.
TIPS FOR MAKING PRETZEL TREATS
- Lay the chocolate covered treat on a parchment lined baking sheet for easy moving and transporting before the chocolate has hardened.
- Place the chocolate in the fridge or freezer to completely cool before serving.
- Store these yummy treats in a large freezer bag or airtight container for up to one month at room temperature. They can also be stored in the fridge to prevent the chocolate from melting or in the freezer for months.
