Pretzel Turtles and Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels

5.2K

Here are a couple of really easy gifts or treats that involve pretzels.  The first is Pretzel Turtles, if you haven’t had them before, then I am surprised.  It is a well traveled recipe.  They are so simple and oh so good.

You make the pretzel turtles using pretzels, rolo candies, and pecan halves.  I also make them using red and green M & M’s in place of the pecan halves for those in my family who aren’t nut lovers. I roast my pecans before placing them on the turtles, but you can skip this step to make them even easier.  If you aren’t a pecan fan you can always replace them with any kind of nut like whole cashews, almonds, etc.  You could even top them with another pretzel and make a pretzel sandwich!

The other recipe is another fun way to change a bag of pretzels.  So easy.  I adapted the recipe from Baking Junkie.  It brings the flavors of sweet and salty together.  You coat the pretzels with a cinnamon sugar mixture. I also saw another variation at Oh My Sugar High. That version cooks in the microwave if you really want to speed up the process of making these.
