November 7, 2010 - Thanks Jerri for featuring this recipe on your blog!
Several months back at my neighborhood bingo get together these goodies magically appeared in my life. Jessica, the host of the month, made them. As I was drooling over them she said the magic words "oh these are sooo easy". Love that! It's just a pretzel with a rolo candy and pecan on top. That's it! I couldn't believe it. In my delirium of the salty/sweet taste explosion I would have never guessed the chocolate caramel goodness was a rolo! Genius!!!! A super easy turtle!
In honor of Halloween I made up a batch using pecans and candy corn. They were both equally as yummy!
PRINTABLE RECIPE
Here's what you'll need:
Small pretzel squares
Rolo Candies
Pecans
Candy Corn
Preheat oven to 350
Place pretzel squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Unroll the Rolo candies and place one on top of each pretzel.
Bake in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes. Just until the chocolate starts to become glossy.
Take out and place pecans and candy corns on top. Push down the pecans/candy corn to smoosh the Rolo.
Eat while warm and gooey or let sit until the chocolate firms back up. After eating a few warm (pure heaven :-) ) I popped mine in the refrigerator for a few minutes to speed the cooling process along. If you like Turtle candies I promise you will love these!
