Oh snap...Turtles!

In honor of this oh-so-fabulous holiday, we want to share with you one of our FAVORITE chocolate treat recipes.  Now be prepared...it may take seconds to master the art of preparing these, but the few minutes you spend will bring you a lifetime of praise, we promise. :)

Snap Turtles

Rolos (1 bag)
Waffle pretzels
Pecan halves

Parchment or wax paper
Large cookie sheet

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

The longest part of this process will be unwrapping the 56 (sometimes 57) Rolos.  Yes, there are 56 (sometimes 57) Rolos in a bag.  When you've made them as often as we have you will have this number memorized too.

On a cookie sheet covered with parchment or wax paper, layout 56 (sometimes 57) waffle pretzels and set one Rolo on each.

Place the cookie sheet in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the Rolos are softened.  Remove cookie sheet from oven and gently mash a pecan half onto each one.

We usually do a test press with one of the pecan halves to see how easily it smooshes the Rolo before removing the entire sheet from the oven. You want the Rolos to still be holding their shape when you take the sheet out, but soft enough to squoosh down easily when you mash the pecan half into it.

Once they have all been done, put the cookie sheet in the freezer or fridge for a few minutes so that the chocolate seizes up.

Then let the gobbling begin.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!
