I'm a big fan of fancy desserts.
BUT... there are times when you just need something quick, easy and still delicious!
That's the kind of recipe I have for you today.
In fact, I have a hard time even calling it a "recipe", when it only has three ingredients...
Rolo (store bought chocolate/caramel candies), pretzels and pecan halves.
Bottom line, if you just threw those three things in a bowl it would be pretty yummy!
For these tasty treats, all you have to do is lay the pretzels on a baking sheet (I used these cute square ones, but the mini twists would work too). Top each pretzel with an unwrapped Rolo candy.
Bake in the oven at 250*F for 4-5 minutes (no longer).
When you remove them from the oven, the Rolo will still be in the same shape as when it went in the oven. Place a pecan half on top of the Rolo and press down a bit.
Top each of the Rolo with one pecan half.
Place the entire baking sheet in the freezer for about 5-7 minutes to allow the Rolo to cool.
Remove from freezer and enjoy! Or place in a container to enjoy later. These will last several days- probably more, but they've never lasted that long in our house!
These are so delicious! A great sweet-salty combo.
Enjoy!
Recipe source- I recently discovered these when a friend made some for Scrapbooking night, but I think it's an old recipe. I imagine it's from Rolo =)
Sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteI've been making these turtles for years. A helpful hint is to buy the Rolos at the checkout rather than the bag... then you don't have to spend half an hour unwrapping!
ReplyDeleteCan I post to my blog? I love it! So simple!
ReplyDeleterowejones- You are welcome to use one photo and link back to me for the directions, but please do not simply post my photos and my text.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Will do! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThese are so delish!! I made them last year for the first time!:)
ReplyDeleteOh these sounds very very good!
ReplyDeletex
hımmm this is calorie bomb but I dont care I want to eat:))
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun recipe. Rolos arent sold in Finland, but I think I can find something similar.
ReplyDeleteThese look yummy! I think too many rolos would make it to my mouth before making it onto the pretzels!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I love it. My daughter has a severe nut allergy so I don't even keep them in the house much. Do you think another preztel on top would work?
ReplyDeletePlan B
I love these.. I was just in Virginia a couple weeks ago visiting my dad and he made these for me... They are so awesome!
ReplyDeleteSTOP IT those looks so good!
ReplyDeleteSo simple, but such a great idea! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThat is so clever! I must try it, soon!
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! Especially this time of year when we typically enteratin larger crowds. LOVE THIS.
ReplyDeleteLOVE THESE! I have seen ones before with M&Ms squished on top instead of pecans. My son is also allergic to nuts, so I use sixlets candy :)
ReplyDeleteThese look so impressive but quick and easy! Yum!
ReplyDeleteThese are so easy and fabulous! I am glad you reminded me of these! :)
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! Btw I added you to my bloglist ads on my blog. I don't get to post much on your blog, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteCan also use a hershey's Kiss (in place of a Rolo) and an m&m in place of the pecan...these look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMaking them right now (they are cooling) as the rain pours down and my 3 year old son who has been up since 5am (could not convince him that day light savings ment he needed to go back to bed) is running races in our small hallway :)
ReplyDeleteThese are actually a recipe from Our Best Bites.
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE these!!! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous- I do like to give credit where it is due for recipes, but this recipe is much older than the Best Bites version. I got the reicpe from a friend, who found it in a family cookbook that is several years old.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI was late discovering these little sweet bites too! A friend introduced them to me last year. SO good!
ReplyDeleteI will try these! Sounds like a great delicious idea!
ReplyDeleteThese look great and remind me of these pretzle treats I made a couple of months ago: http://lifestooshorttoskipdessert.blogspot.com/2010/10/its-fall-yall.html
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and her friends don't care for pecans so I use peanut M&Ms for the tops.
ReplyDeleteI just made these and shared on my site. Thanks again for sharing. They were very yummy! http://lifestooshorttoskipdessert.blogspot.com/2010/12/rolo-pretzel-pecan-bites-and-bollywood.html
ReplyDeleteI've made these before -- they are IMPOSSIBLE not to eat all in one sitting!
ReplyDeleteI miss pretzels a lot. It has been a long time since I had some. I wonder why.
ReplyDeleteI make sort of the same thing with a Hershey kiss and holiday colored M&Ms. My preschool class loves them! This seems like a more grown up version!
ReplyDeleteThese look awesome! I would gobble up a whole bowl of these.
ReplyDeleteDo you believe I just had my first Rolo recently? I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteI've been making those for years too. They were 1 Weight Watcher point, not sure how much they are now. But they sure are good!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make some of these for a Halloween treat could someone think of a saying or a name to put on a tag. Thank You
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteOh hilarious! I had these at a potluck in October. They are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteCan you make these ahead and freeze them to use in a couple weeks?

ReplyDeleteFor those allergic to nuts I use a m&m on top.
ReplyDeleteI found this idea originally on PInterest, then made them up with great results. I looked up a blog on google to link back to in my own blog. Your blog and recipe were the best choice. Good Job! Thanks, Kathy
ReplyDeleteMade these today. They were awesome. Thanks for the recipe.
