Turtle Time

One of my favorite sweet treats is the combination of caramel, chocolate and pecans. You can put it on ice cream or as a stand alone as a turtle candy. And honestly, it doesn't get much better in my world. When I was a kid my mom used to make the caramel homemade. I am not quite as talented as she is so I am always looking for an easier way to capture the same great taste. This year I did. It isn't exactly a new recipe, but my friend Cheri and I used it this year to create my favorite treat. This is so simple it's something you literally can do with your kids even.

Turtles

a bag of Rolos and or Hershey Caramel Kisses

a bag of round pretzels

a bag of pecan halves

Preheat the oven to 300. On a wax paper lined cookie sheet, fill the sheet with pretzels evenly spaced  and place a piece of candy in the middle of the pretzel. Bake for 2 minutes. Remove the cookie sheet and place a pecan half on each treat and press lightly. Put the cookie sheet into the freezer to firm, just a few minutes. Remove and enjoy!!
