How To Make Rolo Pretzel Turtles

Preheat your oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the pretzels evenly on the baking sheet and place one unwrapped Rolo candy on top of each pretzel.

Bake for 3–4 minutes, just until the Rolos have softened but not melted.

Remove the tray from the oven and immediately press a pecan half into the top of each softened Rolo to flatten it slightly and create the turtle shape.

Allow the candies to cool completely for about 30 minutes at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for faster setting.
