Recipe Notes:
- These Ritz Turtle Bites are easy to adapt. Check out my suggestions for variations in the post.
- Allow the Ritz Turtle bites to cool before adding the melted chocolate drizzle.
- Keep an eye on the Ritz Turtle Bites while they heat in the oven, as it’s easy for the Rolo candies to melt instead of soften.
Ritz Turtle Bites
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the Ritz crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet, with half the crackers facing up and half the crackers facing down.
- Place a Rolo on top of each cracker.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for around 5 minutes, until the candy has softened.
- Lightly press one pecan piece into the top of each cracker that is facing up.
- Then, lightly place the cracker with the pecan on top of the remaining crackers to make a sandwich. Carefully press down to smash the Rolo, making sure not to break the cracker.
- Allow the cracker sandwiches to rest at room temperature until cooled, then transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the top of each sandwich and allow to cool and set before serving.
