Scale
Ingredients
- 35 square pretzel snaps
- 35 Rolo chocolates, unwrapped
- 35 pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and spray a 9″x13″ baking pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking during baking.
- Arrange Pretzels: Place the pretzel snaps in an even single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking pan to serve as a base for the Rolos.
- Add Rolos: Place one unwrapped Rolo chocolate on top of each pretzel square, spacing them evenly across the pan.
- Bake Treats: Bake in the preheated oven for about 2 minutes, just long enough for the Rolos to soften and slightly melt but retain their shape.
- Top with Pecans: Immediately after removing from the oven, lightly press one pecan half onto the center of each softened Rolo to create the signature turtle shape.
- Chill: Place the baking pan in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the Rolos to firm up and the treats to set completely before serving.
Notes
- This recipe requires only three simple ingredients and is quick to prepare, making it an ideal festive snack for holidays or parties.
- Be careful not to overbake the Rolos; they should be softened but not fully melted to keep the structure.
- You can substitute pecan halves with other nuts like walnuts or almonds if preferred.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent the chocolates from melting.
