EASY PRETZEL TURTLES

50 miniature salted pretzels (traditional shape)
50 milk-chocolate caramel center candies (Rollo
candies work well)
50 pecan halves

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Spread pretzels on
ungreased cookie sheet. Top each with one candy.
Place cookie sheet in oven for 2 to 2 ½ minutes,
or until candies have softened. Remove from oven
and top each slightly softened candy with a pecan
half. Allow to set up in the refrigerator and then
store in a tightly sealed container. Serve at room
temperature and enjoy!!
