Rolo Turtle Pretzels
These pretzel bites are such a great sweet treat! They require only 3 ingredients and are the perfect blend of slat and sweet.
This yummy sweet treat is perfect for a hostess gift, cookie exchanges or holiday party - these are the easiest treats to make!
Ingredients you'll need
For the exact measurements, please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- snap pretzels
- Rolo caramel candies
- pecan halves
Creative variations to try
A nice variation is placing the pecan on the chocolate before baking. Then, when you bake the turtles, the nut gets lightly roasted - YUM!!! Or just toast pecans first.
I've also sliced a marshmallow in half and placed the sticky side down on the pretzel. Bake for 2-3 minutes until the marshmallow begins to melt, then top with the candy and back in the oven it goes. It's a sticky, delicious, salty-sweet bite!
Instead of Rolo's, you could also use substitute Caramel Hershey's Kisses.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)
Yes, you can easily double or triple this recipe. Just be sure to use a larger baking sheet if you do.
Place them on parchment or food-grade tissue paper inside a gift box.
Pretzel snaps are my go-to choice. Don't use the flavored mustard snaps; plain works best. Salty pretzels are the bomb! I like the Snyder's of Hanover brand.
Deb's tips for the perfect dish
Don't overbake them. You want the chocolate to soften, not completely melt.
- If you don't have parchment paper, you can use a silicone baking mat.
- Give these a festive touch by drizzling them with melted red and green candy melts or a dash of holiday sprinkles.
How to store leftovers
Refrigerate - store Rolo pretzels in an airtight container, refrigerated. They will be good for up to 2 weeks.
Freeze - You can freeze them for up to 3 months.
