Pecan Rolo Turtle Candies: Day 196

We had these a few times last year during the holiday season.  They are ridiculously delicious and addicting! My only complaint is that pecans are SO expensive!!! But you only 63 halves for this recipe, and if you can buy them in a bulk section at Winco, Henry’s, or Trader Joes, it’s not too bad.  Rolos are also hard to find in a bag, but most drugstores like Walgreens will still carry them.  If you’re hosting a party this year, these are a great salty/sweet snack!

 

ROLO PECAN CARAMEL CANDIES

1 package Mini Pretzels
1 (13-oz.) package Rolo Candies (there are exactly 63 pieces in the bag)
1 package Pecan Halves (you’ll need 63 halves and there will be about 25 to 30 left)

Preheat oven to 250 Degrees. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and place pretzels individually to form one layer only. Place one Rolo Candy on top of each pretzel.
Bake at 250 degrees for 4 minutes or until the candies are soft. Immediately remove from the oven and quickly place a pecan half on top of a candy and push down to squish the chocolate into the pretzel and flatten out.
Cool for 15 to 20 minutes, then place in refrigerator (uncovered) until the chocolate candy is firm, usually 10 to 20 minutes. No harm is done if these are left in the refrigerator longer. Transfer to plate or container.
Makes 63 candies, approximately 1 ¼ pounds (M&Ms can also be used in place of pecans. Hershey’s Kisses, Hugs, etc. can be used in place of Rolos.)
