Spectacular Treats to Share
I'm gonna make a confession here. Here goes...
Cookies...sweets...chocolates...desserts aren't my weakness. I'm generally not tempted by the dessert menu at a restaurant, and the presence of cookies and the like in my house is not a personal threat to me.
However...
I am weak when it comes to chips and salty snacks. I'm much more prone to order an appetizer over a dessert, and Nachos are my evening snack of choice.
However...
When it comes to Rolo Turtles, something overcomes me!
They're sweet, they're salty...they're delicious! Before I know it, I've downed 5 of 'em! I determined this week (after I handily ate my way through...well...too many) that I can only make them with the intent of giving them away. They're just too tempting!
You simply place mini-pretzels on a foil-covered cookie sheet. Place 1 Rolo candy on each pretzel and bake at 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes. As soon as they come out of the oven, press a pecan half into the melted chocolate. Refrigerate till firm...if you can wait that long! Oh, they're sooo good!
When using these Rolo Turtles for gifts, I sometimes like to package them in clear frosting bags lined with a a piece of scrapbook paper rolled into a cone shape. I then tie a pretty ribbon around the top of the bag. They're quick, simple, and oh-so-delicious!

These are so good! I have a bunch made and ready to put into tins for gifts, but I love your idea for packaging better. :)

These look so good and easy! I will have to try them sometime. Where do you find the Rolos? Do they sell large nags at the grocery store?
Thanks for sharing this! I will certainly save these to our recipes file!
I wish though I could say sweet aren't my temptation.
Merry Christmas!
