Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 12 small pretzels
  • 12 Rolo candies, unwrapped
  • 12 pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for melting the candies gently.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Arrange Pretzels and Add Rolos: Place the pretzels evenly spaced on the lined baking sheet, then top each pretzel with one unwrapped Rolo candy.
  4. Melt Candies: Bake the pretzels topped with Rolos in the preheated oven for about 3-4 minutes, or until the chocolate caramel candies soften but do not completely melt.
  5. Press Pecans: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press one pecan half onto each softened Rolo, gently pressing down to adhere.
  6. Set Treats: Allow the turtles to set at room temperature for 30 minutes until firm. For a quicker set, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for a shorter time.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overbake the Rolos so they soften but don’t completely melt and lose shape.
  • You can use dark or milk chocolate Rolos depending on your flavor preference.
  • These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
  • For added variety, try using different types of nuts such as walnuts or almonds.
