This bite-sized Mardi Gras Rolo Pretzel Turtles Recipe is the perfect little addition to your Mardi Gras celebration!

Mardi Gras Rolo Pretzel Turtles Recipe

I love the sweet, salty, chewy, and crunchy combination found in Rolo Pretzel Turtles. The fun Mardi Gras colors of purple, green, and gold are drizzled over the pecans and topped with purple, green and yellow sprinkles. This turns a delicious candy treat into a spectacular addition to your Mardi Gras party.

Rolo Pretzel Turtles are easy to make! You just place a Rolo on a pretzel twist, then heat it until the Rolo is soft. Then you place a pecan on top of the Rolo to smash it down. They tast wonderful with very little time or effort. The toppings give them the wow factor that makes it look like you worked hard to make them.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
