Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

56 thin pretzels shapes (squares or wheels)
12 oz bag of rolo candies, unwrapped
56 pecan halves

Steps:

  • 1. Arrange pretzels around the edges of a microwave-safe plate.
  • 2. Top each pretzel with an unwrapped Rolo candy.
  • 3. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until Rolo looks soft, but before it melts!
  • 4. Remove from microwave and press a pecan half into each soft Rolo.
  • 5. Cool before storing in airtight containers.
  • 6. Put into decorative tins for quick & delicious holiday gifts.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh pretzels, caramel, and chocolate will give you the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pretzels: They should be golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Let the caramel cool slightly before dipping the pretzels: This will help prevent the caramel from becoming too runny.
  • Be patient when dipping the pretzels: It takes a few tries to get the right amount of caramel on each pretzel.
  • Sprinkle the chopped pecans immediately after dipping the pretzels in chocolate: This will help them stick.
  • Let the chocolate-covered pretzels cool completely before serving: This will help the chocolate harden.

Conclusion:

Turtle pretzels are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and salty snack that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a fun and festive treat, give turtle pretzels a try!
