directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Unwrap your Rolos. Place the pretzels on a baking sheet and top each one with a Rolo candy.
  • Bake in oven for 3-5 minutes, until the chocolate just begins to melt. The Rolo should be soft but not completely melted.
  • Remove from oven, place on cooling rack and immediately squish the chocolate with a nut. Watch the caramel ooze out. YUM.

Questions & Replies

  1. Why can't I microwave them on a large microwave plate for a few seconds until the ROLOS melt a little? It's hot and humid in Florida. I try not to use the oven very often.
     
  2. How long will rolo turtle pretzels last
     
  3. How far in advance can these be made

  2. YUMMY! I've made 2 batches today. One with pecans & one without, for the kids. Both turn out great. I lined the baking sheet with parchment paper. I was able to find the round pretzels and quickly figured out that if you insert the rolo in upside down, they will fit better. Oven temp 350° for 3 minutes, I remove them from the oven, spray the back of a teaspoon with cooking spray and lightly press down & swirl the rolo into the pretzel. Refrigerate & remove from the parchment.<br/>A great treat for gifts! Thanks Epi Curious!
     
  3. yummy and easy. I used not only pecans but walnuts and cashews. They are yummy with all kinds of nuts, since not anyone like pecans.
     
  4. The kids enjoyed making them and everyone enjoyed eating them!
     
  5. The best part about this recipe is that my 5 year old daughter can make these all by herself (except for the oven work). It is a huge confidence booster for her and they look picture perfect too. They taste yummy as well :)

Tweaks

  1. Why can't I microwave them for melting the ROLO? I hate to use my oven. It is so hot and humid in S.W. Florida. I also may use 3 pecans, put the ROLO on top and then perhaps put another pecan on top. What do you think?
     
  2. *no tweek necessary! I came here for the temperature and amount of time for oven!
