Baking is one of my favorite things about the holidays. Whether I’m making gingerbread cookies or baking a pie, spending time in the kitchen covered in flour always makes me feel very festive. But sometimes things get busy and you need a tasty treat you can throw together in a few minutes. I present to you the ultimate easy and tasty holiday treat—Turtle Bites.
In just a few minutes (only three ingredients and three steps) you can create tasty morsels that your guests will love. They also make great gifts since they hold up well for at least a week (they've never lasted more than a few days in my house before getting eaten, so I'm not sure exactly how long they last).
The hardest part of this recipe is unwrapping all of the candies (and if you can’t handle that, let’s be honest, you probably shouldn’t be in a kitchen).

And that’s it! These delicious little bites are perfect for any holiday party or just for having around the house (though they are quite addictive… you’ve been warned).

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F
- Cover a cookie sheet in parchment paper or a baking mat and arrange the pretzels in a single layer on the sheet. Place one Rolo on each pretzel.
