Pretzel Turtle Bites

This treat was my contribution to the cookie exchange. I got the recipe from my dad's wife. I love it for several reasons, 1) these are EASY to make, 2) they put together FAST, 3) and they are everything that a sweet treat should be - crunchy, chewy, sweet, and salty. You just can't beat that!! My kids loved to help make these as well. They did a great job unwrapping all of the Rolos, placing pretzels on the pan, and pressing the pecan halves into the warmed rolos. They were so proud that they could make these!

Here's what you'll need:

1 bag of small twisted pretzels
3 or 4 bags of Rolos
1 (1 lb) bag of pecan halves

Lay pretzels on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Top each pretzel with a rolo. Bake at 200 degrees for 5 minutes. Take out from oven and press a pecan half into each rolo. Let cool. These are so easy and good, perfect to give away at Christmas time!!
