Hey I need to make 27 little baggies of these for family…any idea on how many bags of pretzels, pecans & rolos I will need? Also, how many days in advance do you think I could make these?

Reply

i made some similar to these last christmas using round pretzels which fit the rolos perfectly. i also used roasted almonds instead of pecans because i don’t care for pecans all that much. they were awesome and were a huge hit with the family.

They did firm up and believe me, everyone I shared them with loved them. I took what was left to my brother-in-law today and told him I was using him as my “garbage dump” to get rid of all the no-no’s in my kitchen…..But enjoyed them for this year….
Thanks

use a carmel kiss instead and put a smartie or m&m on top

I was hoping the Rolos would firm up a bit. Difficult to pack for gift giving…..But are wonderful….
Thanks

Hi Jaden!

Wow! I was thrilled to get a message from you. Heck, I just posted today’s blog a few minutes ago! I hope you don’t mind that I linked your recipe to my blog. I’ve been getting major rave reviews on your Rolo Pretzel Turtles and just wanted to share!

Looking at your other pictures reminded me that I haven’t been for ‘dim sum’ in quite a while (“Mmmmm – ‘dim ‘sum’ ” as Homer Simpson would say). I live near Toronto – a very ethnically diverse city of over 5 million people (including the greater Toronto area) , with the largest group being 400,000 Chinese folks. As a result we have some amazing Chinese restaurants which serve ‘dim sum’ – great comfort food during our bleak, frigid winters.

Loved your video clip!

Happy holidays!

I was so excited to try the turtle pretzels until I got home and realized the Rolo’s I bought last week were gone! I used cherry Hershey kisses and orange Hershey kisses instead and they were delicious as well. I’m still hitting the store for Rolo’s tonight!

Hey.. I’ve been making these Rolo Pretzel Snacks for years now.. I’ve found that the Square Pretzels are great to use too. And Candied coated Nuts are a good addition too..

WOW! I thought I was the only one who ate those rolo candy pretzel things when I was craving that salty-sweet combo!! It’s so easy and soo yummy! I LOVE those things–make them every Christmas along with truffles and chocolate covered cherries, and of course cookies galore. I just found your site and can’t wait to read the past recipes! Thanks! (I am bummed I missed out on the vanilla bean contest–can’t wait for the next one!)

Wow, I am really sketched out by those duck parts in little bags. On the surface, they look like innocuous condiments…

Reply

Priceless!

Did you have Peking Duck in Beijing? They include the head, sliced down the middle so you can get the tongue right from the source. Not to mention the brains. I was always selfless and let my companions eat them.

Rollos are much more my speed.

For the person who mentioned not being able to get a wide variety of caramel candies in Italy, let me point out that caramel is /really/ easy to make, probably the easiest sort of boiled candy there is, since both soft and hard caramels are tasty and wonderful. 🙂

There’s a great recipe for Espresso salty caramels at 101 Cookbooks (http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/espresso-caramels-recipe.html). I made them just drizzled with a little white chocolate, because they were incredibly flavourful on their own, but they’d be good with pretzels and milk chocolate if you don’t mind your candy a bit salty.

Also, if you have access to cans of sweetened, condensed milk, you can boil them under several inches of water (very important to keep enough water or else they can explode!) to make a very soft, creamy kind of caramel that also makes for good turtles.

It’s still a lot more work than these Rolo Pretzels, but if you’re desperate…

Yeah, like I need another way to eat sugar. Thanks so much, Jaden (she says, dripping sarcasm). I watched the video and you’re right – you are a bad, bad girl! Feeding duck parts to innocent interviewers?

Reply

I tried that stuff (same packaging and everything) last time i was in Hong Kong. I wasn’t too bad! My local friends were eating that stuff in front of the TV, same as Americans would eat popcorn! hehehe
What a culture shock! haha
(whipped with a dish towel…how kinky! haha)

Reply

These would be the perfect instant fix for that chocolate/salt craving. I have tried chocolate covered pretzels so this brings that recipe one step up.

Reply

hey jaden….

you can get crack oil at any store that sells LorAnn oils!! dont get the cherry though, it smells like cough syrup, and will literally make you sick!

Reply

evil girl!! haha!! but it’s all great :p

Just wanted to let you know im bacccck!! : D

Reply

Jaden, I’ve been meaning to check out your blog and I love it. You sound so fun in the kitchen. It’s nice to see you spreading the Chinese culture and food in good ole’ Florida!

I didn’t realize you’re from San Francisco. If you ever visit the Bay Area, we have to hang out! 🙂

Reply

You had me laughing so hard. It is always lovely to hear your voice.

Like this single serving make-as-many-as-you-can-eat-at-a-time choco-caramel fix:)

Where did you get those snacks from? China? hee heeee…..

I really love those Pretzel Turtles…..coz I saw CHOCOLATES! 😀

Reply

You are so EVIL!! 3 things I can’t resist – 1.) Rolos, 2.) pretzels, 3.) it’s so easy even *I* can do it! Weight Watchers, be damned!!!

:)) Jaden, Jaden, Jaden…How I look so forward to your posts 🙂 These turtles are so cool!

The jokes on you Jaden! I am a nurse and that sono-screen on the left confirms you are pregnant with twins! Congratulations!

Cool cool!

Reply

You were fantastic!

This Rolo idea is pure genius and will most likely be my undoing – the pretzel/caramel/chocolate/nut combo is pretty much the perfect combination of flavors. Hmm. Maybe I should just tape them to my thighs instead of eating them? 😉

Reply

I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much I appreciate your blog. It’s so evident that you truly enjoy everything that you do and as a result, your blog is a joy to read.

Best of luck with all of your future endeavors.

Yep! you are evil!!

You rock!! Another great segment..keep up the great work…you’re an inspiration!

Love the video spot. Love the Rolos. Wish I were eating the Rolos while watching the video!

By the way, my daughter thinks that you are the bee’s knees. Ever since she met you, it’s been “Jaden this” and “Jaden that”. She has half the kids at her middle school checking out your blog. She even made me take her to buy a cookbook at Borders the other day. I think she likes you better than she likes me! ; )

Reply

another great video, keep them coming! When is your food network deal? 🙂

Reply

OMG I love duck gizzards! Mine got confiscated at customs *sob* You look great in the video! Love the melty rolo on pretzel idea.

Reply

That is just so cool… I grew up in South America where snack like that also prevail!
Awsome, that is just fabulous and I am so proud of them for actually trying it even if Janet looks like she wants to spit it out!

Reply

that looks sinful and delightful… good for sugar hit of the day!

Reply

Jaden, you’re so wicked! You give us delicious sugary recipes that look sinful, then you force feed innocent people duck balls! You’re too awesome! 🙂
OMG her FACE was PRICELESS! LOL! YOU ROCK!

Reply

That was such a wonderful video, Jaden, you are a natural at this, and I remember you telling me the Bangkok-Tokyo story before too! and those Beer ‘snacks’ – sometimes I think you are pure ‘Evil’ gurl!

Reply

haven’t tried either but with beer anything will fly! 🙂

Reply

Jaden, you are so professional and seasoned on screen! I wonder what Janet think of the duck gizzard… I have never tried duck gizzard and duck tongue before..

Reply

I’ve never had the opportunity to try any of those snacks, but get a beer or two in me, and I’d be game.

And yes, you are great on camera!

Reply

You had me at caramel. If I need a caramel fix, the only thing really here in Italy is Snickers. Oh Rolos, why have you foresaken me? Yum.

Reply

um is it totally wrong of me, that the thought of rolos and pretzels at the same time threw me into a fit of food induced tourettes, that left me wanting to roll around naked in a pile of rolo pretzels while screaming dirty things?

Reply

you wicked wicked girl… LOL…

Reply

I know we’re chatting right now, but I have to say, you’re such a pro in these videos. In this case, you’re the most professional of the three people on-camera!

Reply

Salty and Sweet. One of my favorite combinations! These look delicious! (the pretzels, not the duck parts)

Reply

hahaha…so funny! i don’t really like duck tongue, the texture is horrible, though i don’t mind duck’s feet skin.
