We’re getting close to the holidays when things move at the speed of lightning. And also the time that treats are made and delivered. Or just made and eaten. Ahem. I’m always looking for simple things to make for family and friends. These Turtle Pretzels only have 3 ingredients and are the perfect salty/sweet/crunchy combo.
Yes they have been around for a million years and you might have already tried them. I found the recipe in an old cookbook and thought they’d be amazing. I don’t love chocolate (vanilla and caramel all the way) but I do love Take 5 bars and that’s what this recipe reminds me of. It’s got chocolate, crunch and nuts.
Just like this they would taste good. But add one more ingredient and they are that much better. Yum!
3 Ingredient Turtle Pretzels
Ingredients
- 10 oz Mini Pretzels

November 17, 2014 at 1:36 pmAt Christmas I use red and green M and Ms instead of nuts. Halloween: Candy corn;’ July 4: red and blue M and Ms. You get the idea.mand I agree that the windowpane square pretzels,are best to use.

November 17, 2014 at 12:18 pmI’m like these other people. I have a bad left hip, a bad right knee, fibromyalgia and 3 herniated disks in my back. I can only stand for a few minutes at a time. Some really good, short recipes would be great for dinner. Thanks…you’re doing a great job.

November 9, 2014 at 7:36 pmThese are yummy. I have made them before. If you use the square “waffle” pretzels, they are a lot less messy. Use the butter flavored ones for an even richer flavor. (If you can imagine that!) :-)
