Our favorite 5 Minute treat - Rolo Turtles

What’s a girl to do when she’s sitting at her laptop attempting to get work done and that tiny little sweet craving hits?

She tries to resist it, but it keeps calling her name.

She makes her own personalized Turtle Candies, of course. The best part is that she can make just a few at a time if she wants because it’s all about balance, right? 😉

I might as well stop referring to myself in third person. The “she” would be me and then my daughter caught the quick treat bug too and we enjoyed our experimentation. Yes, it’s a perfect starter recipe.

With the holidays around the corner, I’m all about minimizing the stress that steals our joy and one of the ways I do that is by putting the hours of expectation on hand made treats into perspective.

If you have the time, and it’s your love language which fills your tank, then knock yourself out of the park with homemade goodness around the clock, but if December hits and you are feeling the guilt and burden laden with expectation, then by golly, let it go (que daughters singing) and use this ever so easy Turtle Candy recipe.

There is no golden rule Christmas book that says every cookie recipe has to take five hours. This Easy ROLO Turtle Candy recipe made with pretzels literally takes five minutes (because you have to unwrap the candy otherwise 30 seconds flat) and it’s a hit every where I go. I’m sure you’ve tried them before and if you haven’t, go to the store now. 🙂

With some ROLOS, pretzels and pecans, you have the best 3 ingredient ever

While you’ll want to make dozens of these in your oven, don’t forget how simple it is to make just one or two or three at a time right in your microwave. (Yes, I even experimented by using Chocolate Espresso Beans when I was desperate.)

I know, you may never forgive me for telling you this personalized treat hack, so while you’re at it, check out my other Simple Holiday Recipes. That will make up for it.
