Rolo Pretzel Bites

These tasty little treats are one of my all-time favorite go-to Christmas recipes! So much sweet, salty, chocolatey, caramel perfection is packed into each bite size Rolo Pretzel Turtle. It is more likely that I would go sky-diving than stop at eating just one, or twenty.

I just can’t rave enough about these. They are so easy to make, they travel nice, pack into little bags or boxes without breaking into pieces, and they work perfectly as a thoughtful homemade Christmas gift for friends, family, or neighbors!

These round pretzels can produce a wide variety of sweet and salty candy! Some of my favorites are Peppermint Pretzel Bites , Mint M&M Christmas Pretzels , Sugar Cookie Pretzel Bites , or S’mores Pretzel Bites!

What You’ll Need

48 Round Pretzels

48 Rolo’s

48 Pecan Halves

How to Make Rolo Pretzel Turtles

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Distribute 48 (or desired number) round pretzels evenly on the pan.

Unwrap 48 (equal amount to pretzels) Rolo’s.

Place unwrapped Rolo’s in the center of the pretzels.

Put in the oven for 4 minutes.

As soon as you remove the pan from the oven, press a pecan half on top of the melted Rolo.

Let cool until the Rolo’s has hardened.

Seasonal – These don’t have to be a seasonal treat, you can make them anytime of the year!

Pretzels – You don’t have to use round pretzels. I prefer the round pretzels because the Rolo melts evenly, so they look better. But they are only in store’s during the holidays. The next best option is the square pretzels.

Quantity – It’s best to make one pan of these at a time. You don’t want to manage too many at once because the Rolo starts to set. You want to be able to easily press the pecan half into the melted candy.

Pecans – You may have see recipes that call for toasting the pecan first. It’s really not necessary, both for time and taste. They taste just as amazing without toasting the pecan!
