Pretzel Turtles {Only 3 Ingredients!!}

Made with only 3 ingredients, these are ALWAYS a hit around the Holidays.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Servings 50

Ingredients
  

  • 50 Rolos candy (unwrapped) HINT: You can often find the bag of UN-WRAPPED Rolos on the cany aisle...not the Christmas aisle. It is so much easier if you don't have to unwrap 50 Rolos.
  • 1 bag small pretzels Hint: At Christmas, you can often find pretzels in Christmas shapes. This can add a fun aspect to this recipe. OR you can use the square pretzels. I usually just grab what I can find and use the regular small twist.
  • 50 Pecan Halves Hint: For nut free or more kid friendly version, you can add a Christmas M&M instead of a Pecan. Or do half and half.

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Unwrap your Rolos (if you can find them un-wrapped...it makes this soooo much quicker).
  • Cover your cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • Line your cookie sheet with pretzels.
  • Place one un-wrapped Rolo on the middle of each pretzel.
  • Put your pan into a 200 degree oven for 4-5 minutes. You want the Rolos to be soft, but NOT melted.
  • Place one pecan half on the top of each Rolo and push SLIGHTLY.
  • Let cool for at least one hour before packaging up...or place them into the fridge or freezer to harden up a bit. Best served at room temperature.
  • Store in an airtight container. This is not really necessary though...cause they will disappear FAST!!! :)
