Pretzel Turtles

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.
