A couple of weeks ago I hosted
a cookie/treat/goodie exchange here at my house. There were about 15
women that showed up bringing all kinds of wonderful sweets. We had
everything from cookies to flavored popcorn. From jam to pecan brittle.
Yes....pecan brittle. Oh so good! But one of the most popular things
that was there were these yummy little treasures. One of the young moms
brought them (Hi, Tab!!) and they were a HIT! So many people asked for
the recipe...me being one of them. I asked Tab if I could post the
recipe and she graciously said yes. She had found it on a site
somewhere....I also found it here: www.southernplate.com.
And now it's HERE! If you're needing a quick little treat, make this!
If you're going to a New Year's Eve party....take this! If you're having
a bad day and need to go hide in the closet, make this!! You won't be
sorry. Or maybe you will if you eat the whole plate. Try to
refrain....it's hard, though. Just ask me...I'm still working on not
going into the kitchen to gobble down the remaining few. I may need
therapy.
Fast Turtles
1 12-ounce package Rolo’s candies
1 bag pretzels – small twists or squares
Pecan halves
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place pretzels on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Place one unwrapped Rolo on top of each pretzel. Heat in the oven for 2 (TWO) minutes. Any longer and you will have a big, melty mess on your hands. As soon as pretzels come out of the oven, lightly squish a pecan half on top on the melty Rolo. Let set until firm.
If you want to make a LOT of these...buy 2 or 3 bags of Rolos because you will run out of those first. I used 1 bag and scored about 50 or so turtles...which seems like a lot but really isn't. These babies need quite a while to set up. In the fridge for a few hours or overnight works best.
This is all you need to make
these yummy little treats.
In the oven for TWO minutes!!
You'll notice that a few of mine
didn't put pecans on. We have
someone in our family allergic to
nuts. But I just used my finger to
mash down the Rolo. You can also
just add another pretzel on top.
