Rolo Pretzel Treats

Picture from Hostess with the Mostess blog.

I was intrigued by the recipe for the Rolo Pretzel Turtles that I have seen all over blog-land this holiday season. We received a couple of plates of these tasty treats and I knew it was something I wanted to make.

The recipe:

1 bag of Rolo candies

small pretzels

pecans

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place pretzels on paper and one unwrapped Rolo candy on top of each pretzel. Place in the oven for about 4 minutes. Rolos should be just soft, not melted. Remove from oven and immediately place one pecan on each Rolo candy and press gently. Yummy!

So easy, so fast and so delicious!

Big problem: Most of my family does not really care for pecans. I had to figure out some way to make these treats more perfect for my family!

Hello M&Ms!!

And Hersey Kisses!!

Paige, Kendall and I made these one afternoon before Christmas. We used Hershey Kisses (the caramel filled ones and the candy cane flavored ones) instead of Rolos... and we used M&Ms instead pecans!

Very, very successful!! The girls loved that they were able to make these entirely on their own! And they were so yummy!

What a fun treat!!
