Pretzel Turtles

These are delicious and unbelievably easy to make! You know I'm all about the easy! This is one of my favorite holiday treats. It's my "go to" snack for cookie swaps and office potlucks, etc. One set of supplies will make a ton of these, so let me walk you through the simplicity:

1 bag of Rolos
(or if you can find them on sale, rolls of Rolos... save yourself all that unwrapping time)
1 bag of square waffle style pretzels
1 bag of Pecans

Heat oven to 250. On a baking sheet, lay out pretzels and top each one with an un-foiled Rolo. Place them in the oven for no more than 3 minutes! Take them out and top each one with a pecan, smoosh down.

Let them cool and set, place them in the fridge to get them to cool faster if you like, but they are best served at room temp. The pecan can also be replaced by a cashew or walnut.
For those that don't care for nuts, a few M & M's or another pretzel makes a great topper too!
