Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 35 square pretzel snaps
  • 35 Rolo chocolates, unwrapped
  • 35 pecan halves


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly spray a 9″x13″ baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Pretzels: Place the pretzel snaps evenly spread out in a single layer in the prepared baking pan to ensure even melting of the chocolates.
  3. Add Rolos and Bake: Place one unwrapped Rolo chocolate on top of each pretzel snap. Bake in the preheated oven for exactly 2 minutes to soften the chocolates without fully melting them.
  4. Top with Pecans: Carefully remove the pan from the oven and immediately press one pecan half lightly into the center of each melted Rolo to create the classic ‘turtle’ look and add crunch.
  5. Chill and Set: Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for 10 minutes to let the chocolates set firmly around the pretzels and pecans.
  6. Serve: Once chilled and set, remove from the refrigerator and serve these irresistible sweet and salty treats at room temperature.

Notes

  • These treats require only three ingredients making them very simple and quick to prepare.
  • Perfect for holiday parties, snacks, or gift-giving due to their festive look and ease of assembly.
  • The combination of salty pretzels with sweet, gooey Rolos and crunchy pecans offers a delicious contrast of flavors and textures.
  • For easier cleanup, line the baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat instead of spraying.
