Rolo Pretzel Turtles are an easy 3 ingredient treat, for a perfect sweet and salty treat! So easy and great for sharing!
Can you tell that I am a huge fan of easy treats? In fact these pretzel rolo turtles almost couldn’t be any easier. I’m serious. It’s almost so simple that I feel a little silly sharing it with you. But I’m going to anyway. Because they really are that good!
Sweet and salty treats are always a win in my book, the salt completely compliments the sweetness and brings out the delicious flavors. The salty pretzels, with the chocolate and the caramel of the rolo. It’s like a delicious salted caramel treat, and you can’t beat that!
Some of my other favorite sweet and salty treats are these peanut butter buckeye pretzel bites, chocolate covered caramel cookie dough cups, and salted caramel topped fudge.
The pretzel helps to hold these treats all together -and gives them the saltiness that we want. It gives them just a little extra crunch too. To counter balance the chewiness of the rolo of course.
The pecan on top adds that nice crunchy texture as well.
How to Make Pretzel Rolo Turtles?
To make these treats you only need 3 ingredients, rolos, pretzels and pecans.
I toasted my pecans to give them a more nutty flavor, but that’s optional, so you don’t have to do that if you want to skip a step.
Then you line a cookie sheet with pretzels, then put a rolo on top of each pretzel, bake for a couple minutes.
Then squish a pecan on top. That’s it.
These are the perfect holiday treat! They’re so easy to make, and only take about 10 minutes of work to make a huge giant batch of them.
You will need to wait to let them cool for a few minutes so you don’t burn your mouth on the melty chocolate. And if you want to share them with your friends or neighbors on a cute Christmas treat plate, or at a holiday party, then you’ll want to let them cool completely.

How long do these stay fresh?
It’s Tuesday and we will eat them Friday. Thanks!
Aimee says
They should be fine if you made them today to eat on Friday, but sometimes there are some spotting issues with the chocolate if they get moist at all. The pretzel should stay crunchy and the chocolate/caramel nice and gooey 🙂
Alicia says
How long does it take the chocolate to harden back up?
Aimee Berrett says
I’d guess a couple hours. You could always throw them in the fridge to speed it up.
Betty Arnal says
Looking forward to starting my Christmas baking. Can I freeze these?
Aimee Berrett says
I’m not sure how they would freeze, but they come together super fast that it might be okay to make them last minute. Let me know if you do freeze them!
Carmen says
I have been freezing them for three years. They do great!!
Cathy says
Can you make these ahead of time and freeze them?

LOVED the pretzel rolos as Christmas treats! I used the snaps pretzels (looks like a grid) and used pecans and cashews (husband is allergic to pecans). Placed the nut on top of the rolo before placing in the oven; allowed the nut to toast a bit and was super easy to smoosh it down while the rolo was still melty. SOOO YUMMY!
Betty Villa says
