Description

Super easy, quick but addictive little sweet & salty numbers! Quick (and EASY) to make – a great recipe for kids too!

Ingredients

  • 30 whole Mini-pretzel Twists
  • 1 bag Rolo Candies
  • Melting Chocolate (or Almond Bark)
  • 30 whole Pecan Halves

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325.

Place pretzel twists on non-stick foil covered cookie sheet.

Unwrap a Rolo candy and place 1 (flat/bottom side down) on each pretzel.

Place tray in preheated oven about 5 minutes – look to see the candy soften slightly but still retain its shape.

Remove from the oven & place a pecan half firmly atop the candy.

Place tray in the freezer – or outdoors if it’s cold outside (MN winters are great for these!) for a short time to firm up the candies.

If you would like to make them pretty – or give as gifts – microwave a small amount of melting chocolate (almond bark is pretty) and drizzle with a fork over the candies.

I cannot say enough how good these things are!
I DARE YOU to eat only one ;)
Enjoy!

These little bites are delicious. I have made them every year as Christmas treats for my family and to give as gifts. Two variations I also use:
1. If you use Gluten-Free pretzels, these are a yummy treat for folks following a gluten-free diet since the pretzel is the only off-limits item in the recipe.
2. Try making them using mini Reese’s cups instead of a Rolo and an M&M instead of the pecan for another great treat!
Off to the store for pretzels!

Ooohh these were delicious! I was planning on making turtles, but after trying these why would I? Will definitely make these again.

Someone brought these to work last week. They were delicious! You can’t eat just one. I’m so glad I found this recipe. I will definitely make these often.
