Yummy treat-home made turtles
I love cooking, but NEVER have time! Here is a little "candy" treat that my girls and I love. I always keep the ingredients on hand to make in a jiffy for when friends or family stop by to visit! My daughters, 8 and 10 can make this by themselves!
1 bag of rolos (in the candy aisle)
1 bag of mini pretzels (don't get regular size-doesn't work as well)
1 bag of pecans (chopped in half)
Preheat oven to 200 degrees
Take a cookie/baking pan.
Line it with aluminum foil.
Lay mini pretzels all over the sheet, leaving maybe 1/2 inch between each pretzel.
Sit one rolo on top of each pretzel.
Place pan in oven for 4 minutes.
Take pan out of the oven and immediatley place half of a pecan on top, smooshing down to cause the rolo to fill in the pretzel. ( I usually leave about 15 pretzels without pecans, and just smoosh the rolo with the end of a knife for my daughter who doesn't like the pecan)
Place in the refrigerator for a short time to cool the chocolate. When chocolate is cooled, I eat one immediately! I put the rest in a plastic tub and keep them cooled in the fridge so the chocolate doesn't melt.
