Easy Pretzel Turtles

It recently came to my attention that not everyone in the world has been introduced to the pretzel turtle and that's just a cryin' shame! This is possibly the easiest little goodie you'll come across. They can be made in about 10 minutes and with only 3 ingredients.

Easy Pretzel Turtles

Ingredients:
small pretzels

Rolo candies - one bag has about 55 candies

Pecan halves -

Optional: almond bark or white chocolate for drizzling

This is easy as can be! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place pretzels on a parchment lined baking sheet. I like to use parchment paper for easy handling, but you can also put them on foil, a silpat, or directly onto the cookie sheet.Unwrap your Rolo candies and place one on top of each pretzel like a cute little hat.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Place pan in the oven for 3-4 minutes. Any longer is probably too long. You just want the chocolate on the outside to look glossy and melty, but they should still hold their shape.  Remove pan from oven and take a pecan and gently press it right into the center of the chocolate candy.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If you want to get fancy you can give them a little drizzle of almond bark or white chocolate. Just melt some in a plastic baggie and nip the corner off to drizzle. A little goes a long way; I used a half a square of almond bark for half a batch and had plenty left over.

Now definitely do yourself a favor and eat a few of these babies warm off the pan. Mmmm...
