My sister is hosting a Game Night at her home tonight. Last time we had a Game Night we spent the entire time talking. We should have called it Conversation Night! (We did get one round of "Compatability" in.)
Anyway, there will be three families all together, and we're sharing refreshment duty. (As if refreshments are ever a duty.) I'm to bring a sweet. Actually I've made two - sugar cakes and these easy turtles. I got the original recipe here at Rosemary's Sampler - a wonderful blog for tea ideas and recipes. These Easy Caramel Turtles are, indeed, easy. They would be great as gifts for the holidays. Enjoy!
Easy Caramel Turtles
Mini pretzel twists
Rolo candies (1 - 1 1/2 lbs. - I bought these in bulk at Giant. They were cheaper this way than already bagged.)
6 oz. bag of pecan halves (bought at Aldi)
Place pretzels on a cookie sheet. Top with unwrapped Rolos. Heat about 3 - 3 1/2 minutes in a 250 oven until chocolate softens. Remove from oven and press a pecan half on top of the chocolate. Allow to cool before removing from the tray. Because it was pretty warm out today, I put the whole tray in the frig for 1/2 an hour to firm them up and then put them in a tin. Yield: With 1 lb. of Rolos, I got 70 turtles.

Another fun recipe from you, Julie. I will definitely be making these.
I love this idea!! Any tips on how not to eat them as we are unwrapping the candy? LOL
Sorry, Ruth - we each had to have a Rolo before I made the turtles!
