Ingredients
Scale
Chocolates and Candies:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) Rolo Candies
Pretzels:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) square Pretzels (approximately 1 bag)
Nuts:
- 5 ounces (142 grams) Pecan Halves
Instructions
- Gather Rolo candies, pretzels, and pecans on a clean workspace.
- Heat the oven to a low temperature of 200 degrees, ensuring a gentle melting process.
- Cover a large cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Arrange pretzels in neat, uniform rows across the prepared baking sheet.
- Position one Rolo candy precisely in the center of each pretzel.
- Slide the cookie sheet into the preheated oven and allow the Rolos to soften for approximately 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the tray from the oven, using caution to protect hands from heat.
- While the chocolate is still warm and malleable, gently press a pecan into the center of each melted Rolo.
- Let the pretzel turtles rest at room temperature for half an hour, allowing the chocolate to return to its original firm state.
- For a quicker setting time, transfer the cookie sheet to the refrigerator and chill for 10 minutes.
- Once fully set, transfer the pretzel turtles to a serving platter and enjoy the sweet and salty treat.
Notes
- Check Rolo freshness to ensure maximum caramel softness and smooth melting during baking.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and minimal cleanup, preventing sticky caramel residue.
- Select uniform pretzel sizes to guarantee consistent melting and even chocolate coverage.
- Keep an eye on baking time to prevent burning or overcooking the chocolates, as ovens can vary in temperature.
