It's cookie baking season, and today I made a batch of Rolo pretzel treats --- using Christmas shaped pretzels. (Rolos are caramel chocolate candies which look like gumdrops.)
This year I found Christmas pretzels at Aldi's. And other years I have found them at Wegman's.
Super easy to make. Here's a link to the original recipe:

These treats are fun to make! They taste like turtles, if you know what they are.
Rolo Pretzel Treats
pretzels
Rolos
toasted whole pecans
parchment paper for the baking sheet
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unwrap all of the Rolos. And count how many you have in total.
Toast enough whole halves of pecans to match the number of rolos. Let cool.
Line up enough pretzels to match the number of Rolos you still have left after being unable to resist a few.
Place them in the center of the pretzels.
Bake in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes or just until you see the Rolos start to melt.
Remove them from the oven and then place the pecan halves on top and press down on each pecan. We learned you have to press in the center.
Don't use the bottom side of the pecan, like above. Use the pretty side.
Let them cool.
