Gluten Free Rolo Turtles are a quick and easy dessert recipe that uses Schar Entertainment Crackers. These are the closest gluten free crackers to Ritz.

Schar Crackers only lack the salt which is easily added begore baking and after if more salt suits your taste buds.

Another option for this recipe is to use gluten free pretzels instead of the crackers.  I am just not a fan of pretzels.

To begin making Gluten Free Rolo Turtles I placed 10 Schar Entertainment Crackers on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Then I sprinkled some coarse salt on top of each cracker.

Next I placed one Rolo candy on top of each cracker.

I placed the baking sheet into a preheated 350F oven for 5 minutes.

After removing the baking sheet from the oven I sprinkled some coarse salt on top of each Rolo candy. I like mine salty so this step is optional  if the first dose of salt is enough for you.

Then I topped each one off with a pecan and pushed down to flattern the Rolo candy.

After letting the Gluten Free Rolo Turtles cool off, add them to any dessert tray, if they are not snatched up by eager family members first!

 

These Gluten Free Rolo Turtles are so quick and easy to make that they are the perfect choice to create small batches when you need a last minute dessert idea.

FAQS:

How do I store gluten free Rolo turtles?

Storing gluten-free Rolo turtles follows similar guidelines to regular ones. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Room Temperature: If you plan to consume them within a few days, storing them at room temperature in an airtight container works well. Make sure to place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
2. Refrigeration: If you need to store them for a longer duration or if your kitchen tends to be warm, you can store them in the refrigerator. Again, place them in an airtight container or zip-lock bag with parchment paper between layers.
3. Separation: Regardless of the storage method, it’s essential to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together, especially if they contain caramel.
4. Labeling: If you’re preparing them for later consumption, it’s helpful to label the container with the date of preparation to keep track of freshness.

Remember to check the specific ingredients of your recipe to ensure they are truly gluten-free and to avoid cross-contamination during preparation and storage if you have severe gluten allergies.

Can I freeze gluten free Rolo turtles?

Yes, you can freeze gluten-free Rolo turtles. However, it’s essential to ensure proper packaging to maintain their quality. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Wrap individually: If possible, wrap each turtle individually in wax paper or parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.
2. Place in an airtight container: Once individually wrapped, place the turtles in an airtight container or freezer bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible before sealing.
3. Label and date: Always label the container or bag with the date of freezing to keep track of freshness.
4. Freeze: Put the container or bag in the freezer. Try to place it in a single layer initially to prevent them from sticking together. Once frozen solid, you can stack them if needed.
5. Thawing: When you’re ready to eat them, remove from the freezer and let them thaw in the refrigerator. This will help maintain their texture.

By following these steps, you should be able to freeze your gluten-free Rolo turtles without any issues. Enjoy your treats!
