Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 24 Mini pretzel twists or square grid snaps
  • 24 Rolo chewy caramels in milk chocolate unwrapped
  • 24 Pecan halves

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to a low 250°F (120°C). Line a large, flat baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Arrange the 24 mini pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they sit as flat as possible.
  3. Place one unwrapped Rolo candy directly in the center of each pretzel base.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 3 to 5 minutes. You want the Rolos to become soft, warm, and glossy, but do not let them melt completely flat into a puddle.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven. Working immediately, gently press one pecan half directly down into the center of each soft Rolo so the chocolate and caramel squish out slightly into the pretzel.
  6. Let the assembled turtle bites cool completely on the baking sheet at room temperature until the chocolate sets firm. To speed this up, you can place the tray in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.

Notes

Unwrap all your Rolo candies before you begin to save time.
Do not increase the oven temperature, or the chocolate will seize and turn chalky.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
