Rolo Pretzels are fun sweet and salty dessert to make with your kids and great for Christmas plates. All you need for these are 3 ingredients! These easy turtles are made with pretzels, chocolate rolos, and pecans or M&Ms.
ROLO PRETZELS
My friend Lindsay gave these to me and although I have seen them before I underestimated their yumminess.
Even though everyone has these Rolo Pretzel Bites on their Christmas plates, I never get tired of eating them because they’re that good.
The buttery, salty pretzel with the chewy sweet caramel is divine. I loved them so much that I made them with my boys today.
I let them put M&Ms on top but for adults a salty pecan makes these taste just like a turtle. This is a fun activity to do with your kids and takes less than 5 minutes.
I had to give them to my neighbors immediately so I didn’t eat them all.
VARIATIONS ON THIS RECIPE
Make these your own! My kids don’t love the pecans but go crazy for the M&Ms.
- Hershey Kiss: Use a Hershey kiss instead of Rolo. The white and black striped Hershey Hugs are really cute. During Christmas time they have a red and white striped Hershey kiss as well.
- Peanut Butter version – Use a mini peanut butter cup instead of a Rolo for a peanut butter delight!
