Pretzel Snacks

The girls really enjoyed helping me make these pretzel snacks for a Super Bowl Party tomorrow night. These are the perfect combination of salty and sweet. What fun finger foods to snack on during the BIG GAME!

Turtle Pretzels
Ingredients:
  • 50 pretzels from a bag of waffle type pretzels
  • 1 (11 oz) bag of Rolos, unwrapped (around 50 in a bag)
  • 50 Reese's Pieces (M & M's or Pecans)
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place pretzels on a baking sheet. Top each pretzel with 1 Rolo candy, place it right in the center of each pretzel.
  3. Place in the oven and bake for 3 minutes. You want the candies to soften but not completely melt.
  4. Remove from oven and immediately place a Reese's candy on top of each Rolo and lightly press. You want to flatten the candy to cover all of the pretzel except the outer outline and secure the candy on top.
  5. Allow to cool. Makes 50 pretzel turtle candies.

Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels

  • 1 (16 oz) bag of pretzels
  • ⅔ cup of melted butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place pretzels in a large bowl. In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, cinnamon and sugar.
  2. Pour over pretzels and stir to coat. Place pretzels on a baking sheet.
  3. Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and stir. Return to oven for 10 more minutes and stir again.
  4. Place in oven one more time for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Store in a sealed container.
We also made a pineapple upside down cake and peanut butter cup brownie bites.
