Pretzel Rolo Turtles (easy candy recipe!)

These little candies have to be the easiest things to make - the hardest part is unwrapping the Rolos!



 Only three ingredients are needed: Pretzels, Rolo candies and pecan halves.


Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place pretzels on foil-lined baking sheet. Put a Rolo candy on top of each pretzel.  



Bake for 4-5 minutes until Rolos are soft but not melting. Place pecan half on top of the Rolo candy and press down slightly. 




Place in refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes until cool.


See how easy?? This is a great recipe to make with children or for a quick snack or just to have on hand. You could drizzle a little white melted chocolate over them to make them fancier. Color the white chocolate with red and green for the holidays. If you don't care for pecans you can use any kind of nut -- or substitute something else. I've seen them made with crushed peppermints, M&Ms and dried fruit. 

Here is the recipe again:

Ingredients:
Pretzels (I like to use the square ones but any will work)

Rolos Candies (unwrapped)
Pecan Halves

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line cookie sheet with foil. Place pretzels on foil-lined baking sheet. (You can put them together fairly close.) Put a Rolo candy on top of each pretzel.  Bake for 4-5 minutes until Rolos are soft but not melting. Remove from oven and immediately place a pecan half on top of the softened Rolo and press down slightly. Place in refrigerator until cool.

These can be stored in an airtight container. I usually keep them in the fridge in a container and remove as needed.

My Favorite Candy Recipe!

Happy "Pumpkin Day!"

I wanted to share my favorite candy recipe with you -- and it is sooooo easy!

1 pkg of Candy Corn (any size)
1 jar of salted cashews (any size)

Mix 1 cup of each together and stir.

This recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc. and can also be modified to taste by adding more candy corn or more cashews. The mixture is like eating a salted nut roll!

My favorite candy!


This is my only Halloween decoration -- I use it to put my candy in.
