Pretzel Turtle Candies

Written by on in Candies, Cookies and Bars

These little bites of yumminess remind me of the turtle candies we enjoyed back when I was a kid. My Aunt Freida would bring us Turtles as she worked at Synder’s Candies in Chicago. We could only have one (probably because there were 10 kids in my family), but it was a special treat. My friend Diane shared this easy to make recipe with me. This would be a great treat to make with your little ones on a rainy day.
