Ingredients
Ingredients
- 48 Rolo candies
- 48 square pretzels
- 48 pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and unwrap all the Rolo candies to prepare for melting.
- Arrange the Pretzels and Add Candy: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Lay out the square pretzels in rows, spacing them evenly. Place one unwrapped Rolo candy in the center of each pretzel.
- Melt the Candy: Bake the pretzels with Rolo candies in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes, just until the Rolo candies start to soften and melt but not fully liquefy.
- Add Pecans: Remove the cookie sheet from the oven carefully. Gently press one pecan half onto the center of each softened Rolo candy. Be gentle so the melted chocolate doesn’t overflow over the edges.
- Cool and Set: Allow the turtles to cool at room temperature for at least one hour until the chocolate hardens and the candy sets. Once cooled, they are ready to serve or be stored for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use square pretzels to create the classic turtle candy shape that cradles the melted candy.
- Do not overbake, as the Rolos should just soften enough to press the pecan without melting excessively.
- Cool completely before storing in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- For a seasonal touch, substitute pecan halves with walnuts or almonds if desired.
- These treats can be made ahead of time and stored at room temperature for up to a week.
