Okay - THANK YOU to allrecipes.com for the "official recipe" for these....
LET ME TELL YOU....these are our family FAVORITE! :)
It's insane how easy they are - but for us that meant that even the little ones could help!
The "chocolate covered caramel" we use are "rollos" candy (I even saw them at the "everything's a dollar store" the other day!!
and we have used whatever nut we have on hand (almonds - yum - peanuts - yum - walnuts - yum...you get the picture :)
PRETZEL TURTLES
Ingredients:
20 small mini pretzels
20 chocolate covered caramel candies
20 pecan halves
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2. Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on a parchment lined cookie sheet (**you can just use tin foil..we do!!**)
Place one chocolate covered caramel candy on each pretzel.
3. Bake for 4 minutes. While the candy is warm, press a pecan half onto each candy covered pretzel. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container
VIOLA! You're done!
SO easy - SO yummy....These make a nice gift for neighbors and friends too!
So...that's my "cheapo fabuloso" Holiday idea for the day!
Don't forget I'm still posting comments about the cheap/fun craft ideas!!
With all my heart~

p.s. 20 is NEVER enough for our gang :)
