Salty and sweet, these delicious and easy to make turtles require only three ingredients and about 20 minutes to make.
Course: Candy, Dessert
Cuisine: American, Christmas
Servings: 2 Dozen
Ingredients
  • 24 waffle style pretzels
  • 24 Rolo candies

Method
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pecans stirring often. Toast until the nuts pick up a nice color.
  2. Heat oven to 350°F.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
  4. Arrange the pretzels on the pan, and center a Rolo on each.
  5. Place in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes.
  6. Carefully push a pecan half into the Rolo (take care, the caramel it hot).
  7. Allow to cool completely before removing from pan.
Cooks Notes

Unwrapping the candy is the most time-consuming part of this treat. I later found that the ones that come in a bag are not wrapped, and also some stores carry them in the bulk section.
