These EASY, quick pretzel turtles only require 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to make. To make your own you’ll need:- square pretzels
- Rolo chocolate candies
- Cadbury mini eggs (they now offer the classic pastel colors and a new shimmer color)

MY GROCERY STORE DOESN’T CARRY SQUARE PRETZELS, CAN I USE REGULAR TWISTED OR PRETZEL RODS?
Feel free to use any of these but I’d still recommend the square pretzels if you can find them. The square pretzels hold the chocolate nicely without much in the way of dripadge or unwanted moving. You can find square pretzels in most grocery stores in the chip aisle where the pretzels are located. If you choose to use pretzel rods, cut them in half. Use two pretzel rods that have been cut in half (4 pieces total). Then, place them in a line and set the Rolo on top. They might want to roll and move which will make it harder to work with but they’d still taste great. If you choose to use the regular twist pretzels, I’d recommend using the smallest ones you can buy. This will give the Rolo more surface area to hold on to and smaller holes to fall through.
ARE THERE OTHER CANDIES THAT WILL WORK?
If you don’t have Rolos but have another kind of chocolate candy, it will probably work. Rolos with the caramel inside is the best option to give you the traditional turtle flavor but other candies will work too. With these turtle pretzel treats, I think it’s best to stick with a chocolate candy. The chocolate acts as a glue for the Cadbury eggs. Here are a few other chocolate candies that would taste great!- Dove Chocolates
- Hershey Kisses
- Hershey Hugs (the white and milk chocolate would look cool and taste great)
- Milk Duds
- even a chocolate bar broke into small pieces

NOT A CADBURY EGG FAN? THAT’S CRAZY!
If this is true, you might be crazy! Just Kidding. If you don’t care for Cadbury chocolate eggs you can use these in their place.- Pecans
- Almonds
- Milk Duds
- White chocolate drizzle
- M&Ms
PRICE CHECK ($):
These little bite-sized chocolate Easter treats aren’t just cute and fast, they’re also fairly cheap to make. Prices of supplies may vary depending on location and store you purchase groceries from. I shop bulk food stores, use coupons, watch ads and shop sales (like case lot), buy supplies in bulk to save on cost and use homegrown produce and herbs when available. Here’s my ingredient list and cost:Square pretzels – $0.80
Rolos – $1.49
Cadbury Mini Eggs (I bought a 9 oz bag and ended up with over 1/2 the bag leftover. To make it cheaper you could buy individual bags for a couple of bucks with no leftover… but let’s get real. Who doesn’t like leftover Cadbury Mini Eggs? I’m not arguing!) – $1.40
To make this recipe, it cost about $3.69. That’s about 9¢ per treat! I also ended up with a little over half a bag of eggs. They are so convenient in how easy and fast they are to make.
