Turtles (Pretzels with Rolo Candy)

We had a St. Patrick's Day party to attend and were asked to bring something.  In addition to some other items, M wanted me to bring something salty / sweet.  These fit the bill and were gobbled up.  They are super easy and fun!  I drizzled a little white chocolate on about 1/3 of them just to change up the look but you can easily just do the basic recipe and have a quick winner!


Ingredients:
Small round pretzels
Rolo Chewy Caramels in Milk Chocolate
Pecan halves
White chocolate morsels (if desired)

Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Line pretzels on the cookie sheet and top with 1 Rolo candy (wrapper removed).
Place in preheated oven for 3-5 minutes until the chocolate is soft - but not melted.  Mine took about 4-1/2 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately place 1 pecan half on each Rolo candy.  I removed the parchment paper / pretzel from the cookie sheet and placed on a cooling rack to prevent any further heating / cooking.
Allow to cool thoroughly.
If you want to drizzle white chocolate on top, place morsels in a microwave save bowl.  Heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after 30 seconds, until melted.  I did 1 full minutes of heating for a small amount of chocolate.  I used a chop stick (very fancy!) to drizzle the chocolate on the tops of the prezels / Rolo.

Enjoy!
