Pretzel Turtle Bites

Victoria DeMelo
If you are a fan of turtle candies then you will love these turtle bites! The pretzel brings a sweet-salty combo combined with the chocolate, pecans, caramel sauce and salt to top it off! These are a great make-ahead treat you can bring to a dinner party or to entertain guests. These take no time to make and only take a few simple ingredients and they are soooo yummy!

  • Drizzle the dark chocolate over top of the milk chocolate that is on the pretzel. Repeat drizzling the dark chocolate for the rest of the pretzel bites.
  • Lastly, sprinkle each pretzel bite with flakey sea salt (just a pinch on each one). Place the pretzels in the freezer for 1 hour. Serve out of the freezer or allow to thaw for about 10 minutes so the chocolate softens a little bit. Make these ahead of time and keep in the freezer until you are ready to eat them. Enjoy! :)
