Scale
Ingredients
- 24 Rolos
- 24 Pecan Halves
- 24 Mini Pretzels (preferably mini square pretzels)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for softening the candies.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Arrange Pretzels and Rolos: Place the 24 mini square pretzels evenly spaced on the lined baking sheet. Place one Rolo candy on top of each pretzel.
- Bake: Bake the pretzels topped with Rolos in the preheated oven for about 3 minutes, just until the candy softens but does not fully melt.
- Add Pecan Halves: Remove the baking sheet from the oven promptly and press one pecan half down into each softened Rolo to create the turtle shape.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the candies to cool completely so the Rolos harden again. You can then enjoy immediately or store them in an airtight container for later.
Notes
- Use mini square pretzels as they create a better base and shape for the candy.
- Watch the candies closely while baking to avoid melting the Rolos too much.
- These candies can be stored for up to a week in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle a little sea salt on top before serving.
