  • Nuts: crush up nuts or a mixture of nuts, walnuts, almonds or cashews for a fun flavor.
  • Topping: Coconut flakes, sea salt or mini marshmallows.
  • Pretzels: leave out the pretzels or use the looped pretzel. Try to find them with a good base that won’t leave a mess and hold it together.

Tips on making Rolo chocolate turtles

  • Toast pecans: toasting pecans adds a more flavorful taste. Use a skillet to toast for one to two minutes.
  • Don’t worry: these don’t have to be perfect, it is best to work fast.
  • Line pans: silicone liners work really well or parchment paper will work too.
  • Caramels: microwave your caramels if you are not using a Rolo. This is a quicker way to melt your caramel. If your caramel starts to harden, simply add it back into the microwave to reheat.
  • Chocolate: to melt your chocolate, add in a bit of oil to help melt your chocolate in the microwave if you are not using a Rolo.
