Rolo Pretzel Turtles

from ButterYum

makes about 50 candies

INGREDIENTS

• 10-ounce package of Rolo candies, unwrapped (about 50)

• 50 square pretzel snaps (or mini pretzels, or pretzel crisps)

• 50 pecan halves

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 200F with the oven rack in the center position.

• Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

• Place pretzels in a single layer on prepared sheet pan and top each with an unwrapped Rolo candy; bake in preheated oven for just 4 minutes.

• Remove sheet pan from oven and immediately press one pecan half on each Rolo, pressing gently, just until the candy is compressed about half way.

• Allow candies to cool to room temperature or chill in the refrigerator before serving.

• Store cooled turtles in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

NOTES

• Use milk chocolate or dark chocolate salted caramel Rolos.

• Use square waffle-shaped pretzels, mini pretzels (not itty-bitty), or pretzel crisps.

• Can be made up to two weeks in advance if stored in an airtight container.

• Beware of recipes that tell you to bake this recipe at a higher temperature. Doing so will melt the candies too much and you’ll end up with a big mess on your hands.
