How To make Turtles On The Run's Videos
CRUNCHY PRETZEL TURTLES!!! HOMEMADE HOLIDAY!!
Today I am revisiting a recipe that we made a video of about seven years ago. It is still just as delicious, but in these times of quick and easy, budget friendly comfort treats, I thought it was a great time to remake this video. These crunchy pretzel turtles are super simple to throw together and you can even get your kids in on the action. If you like to make a bunch of treats at one time, this recipe is for you! You can literally make almost 100 of these tasty salty, chewy, chocolaty treats at one time! I know these are going to hit the spot for all the loved ones on your list!
These turtles are so easy to make and take lots of help from the grocery store. Start with some small pretzels. I am using Snyders of Hanover butter snaps because I love their taste, texture and shape. I am also using a bag of rolo candies as well as some pecan halves. Thats it! Three easy ingredients and you are going to have fabulous treats in no time!
All you have to do is lay the pretzels out on a baking sheet that you have lined with either parchment or foil. Then top each one with a Rolo. Then you put that sheet of Rolo topped pretzels in a 200 degree oven for 3 to 5 minutes or just until they are shiny but not melted and distorted. Remove these from the oven and push a toasted pecan half into the top of each one, gently squishing the caramel and chocolate down into the pretzel. Then let them cool. I like to pop mine in the fridge for about 5 or 10 minutes to help them set. Then you are ready to roll or Rolo as the case may be.
These keep well for a couple of weeks in an airtight container in the fridge. If you want to up the ante and the flavor profile you can also drizzle these with melted white or dark chocolate or a combo of the two. You can drizzle with colored candy melts for a festive touch or you can sprinkle with a bit of Mauldon or regular sea salt or Himalayan pink salt that has a coarse grind for texture and extra flavor. You can amp these up as much as you like or keep them simple like I did. You choose.
I hope you give these crunchy pretzel turtles a try this holiday season or anytime you want a sweet and salty chocolaty treat and I hope you love them!
Happy Eating!
NOTE: I did not provide a written recipe for this video because of the simplicity of the subject. I am sure you are all able to figure these three ingredients out! Enjoy!
