Scale
Ingredients
- 35 square pretzel snaps
- 35 Rolo chocolates, unwrapped
- 35 pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Pretzels: Lay out the 35 pretzel snaps evenly in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Place Rolos: Place one unwrapped Rolo chocolate on top of each pretzel snap, ensuring an even distribution.
- Bake: Put the pan in the oven and bake for about 2 minutes, just enough to soften the Rolos but not melt them completely.
- Add Pecans: Remove the pan from the oven and immediately press one pecan half gently into the center of each melted Rolo, creating the classic turtle shape.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the assembled treats for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolates to firm up again before serving.
Notes
- This recipe is incredibly simple with only three ingredients, making it a fun and stress-free holiday snack.
- For best results, use fresh pecans and avoid overbaking to prevent the Rolos from melting too much and losing shape.
- These treats are perfect for parties, gift baskets, or an anytime sweet-and-salty bite.
- You can substitute pecans with other nuts like walnuts or almonds if preferred.
