COOKING IN THE DARK WITH COCHRAN & CHRISTIE

We have such a deliciously fast recipe today - it's called Rolo Pretzel Turtles.  Now, there's nothing fast about turtles, but this recipe only takes a few minutes to prepare and only four minutes to bake!  Hey, Christie, there aren't any turtles in this candy, are there?  Just kidding - she's over there wagging her antennae at me now!!  This recipe is from our friend, Jeanne, who always makes delicious treats.  We call her Beanie-Weenie Jeanne, because she can make really good beanie-weenies, too.  Thanks, Jeanne!



ROLO PRETZEL TURTLES

30 mini pretzels

30 Rolo pieces (half a bag)

30 pecan halves

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Arrange the pretzels in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with nonstick foil or parchment paper.  Place one Rolo candy on top of each pretzel.  (These shift around easily on the baking sheet when you're carrying them, so be careful they don't slide around too much.)  Cook for 4 minutes.  Take out of the oven and press a pecan on top of each candy-covered pretzel.  Let cool completely before storing.  (You can also toast the pecans on a plate in the microwave for 1 minute., stirring halfway) *Of course, you can easily double the recipe and use the whole bag of Rolos!

 ENJOY!
