CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO ON HOW TO MAKE THESE PRETZEL TURTLES!
Several years ago, a friend of mine was telling me about how much she loves turtles…and I’m not talking about the animal. Although, now that I think about it, she loves those, too. Anyway, she was talking about the combination of chocolate, caramel, and pecans. Who can blame her? I love that combination too! After that conversation, I started looking around for turtle recipes, and came across this one…and so very glad I did. This is one of the easiest sweet appetizers that I’ve made, and you pick exactly how many you want to make. You can make 5 or 50. Personally, I really like having that option.
First, preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Place mini pretzels on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and place a chocolate covered caramel candy on top of each pretzel. Bake for 4 minutes. You only need to make sure the candies are melted enough to press a pecan on top, so be sure not to overbake…they’ll turn into a mess!
When candies and pretzels are done baking, remove from oven and immediately press one pecan half into each chocolate candy. This secures all three items together.
Once they have cooled, removed from pan and store in airtight container until ready to serve.
These are super yummy! Great combination of salty of sweet, and a little something different to pack for kids!
