Pretzel Turtles
adapted from Our Best Bites

small pretzels
Rolo candies - one bag has about 55 candies
Pecan halves - or optionally peanuts, cashews, and m&m's
Optional: almond bark or white chocolate for drizzling.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place pretzels on a parchment lined baking sheet. I like to use parchment paper for easy handling, but you can also put them on foil, a silpat, or directly onto the cookie sheet.

Unwrap your Rolo candies and place one on top of each pretzel.Place pan in the oven for 3-4 minutes. Any longer is probably too long. You just want the chocolate on the outside to look glossy and melty, but they should still hold their shape.

Remove pan from oven and take a pecan and gently press it right into the center of the chocolate candy. You can also use cashews, peanuts (honey roasted too), M&M's, mini Hershey Kissables, or almonds. You can drizzle melted almond bark or white chocolate on top.

TIPS
I found that in my oven 3 -4 minutes was too long. It was closer to 2-3 minutes. They'll get runny if you leave them in the oven too long. I like to use the waffle type pretzels.
