Gluten-Free Rolo Pretzels (Rolo Turtles)
These 3-Ingredient gluten-free Rolo pretzel bites are one of the easiest treats around! We love the combination of salty pretzels, gooey caramel, crunchy pecans, and plenty of chocolate.

Servings: 25 pretzel bites
Calories: 43kcal
Ingredients
- 25 gluten-free pretzels*
- 25 Rolo candies unwrapped*
- 25 pecan halves or M&M candies*
Instructions
- Toast Pecans. If you haven't already, spread pecan halves out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes, stirring once in the middle for even browning. Set the pecans aside to cool.
- Preheat Oven & Prep The Pan. Then, preheat the oven (or reduce the temperature) to 300 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Layer Pretzels & Rolos. Arrange pretzels in a single layer (no overlap!) on the prepared baking sheet. Top each pretzel with an unwrapped Rolo candy.
- Melt Chocolate. Place the pan in the preheated oven to soften/melt the chocolate for 4-5 minutes. Ideally, you want to soften the chocolate, but not melt it too much. Look for glossy, shiny tops and sides of the Rolo candies to see that it's softened enough.
- Quickly Top. Remove the pan from the oven and quickly press a toasted pecan half or an M&M candy into the top of the Rolo candy. The softened Rolo should easily press down and flatten out to cover most of the surface of the pretzel.
- Cool To Set. Let them cool completely so the melted chocolate can set back up (this can take 1-2 hours at room temperature, or you can speed things along by popping them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.)
- Serve & Store. Enjoy right away or store Rolo pretzels in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
*Ingredient Tips:
- Pretzels. If you're gluten-free, make sure to buy certified gluten-free pretzels, as regular pretzels are NOT gluten-free. We love Snyder's gluten-free pretzels, but keep an eye out for Glutino, Gratify, Snack Factory, and Quinn Snacks brands!
- Rolos Candy. Regular milk chocolate Rolos or dark chocolate salted caramel Rolos are gluten-free!
- Pecans. Use complete, unbrokedn pecan halves, not chopped pecans or pecan pieces for best results.
- M&Ms. Not all m&ms are gluten-free, so double-check your package to check for potential allergens in the ingredient list.
