How are you this dreary day??
Course, maybe it isn't a dreary day
where you live.......lol
but it sure is here in Central Florida,
looks like a Winter day, for sure
but it is 70+ degrees. Go Figure!
Watching lil darling today, and she
should be waking up from her
nappy soon. We have had a fun
morning.
Have been making these candies
you see in the header pic lately, as
I usually make them at Christmas
time, cause everyone loves them,
and just never did for some reason,
(oh I remember, cause I got sick)
so already had the things I needed,
so have made several cookie sheets
of them, and thought I really need to
share this recipe with you
cause these would be great for
Valentines Day. Since we all love
chocolate.
We made them as favors a few
years ago for Dee's friends baby
shower and put them in cute lil
boxes. Anytime I take them any
where people always want to
know who made them and how.
Also a great recipe to make
with your children. I have already
tried it with Brooklyn, but all she
did was scarf down the pretzels,
so maybe next year!! lol
Rolo Pretzel Candies
Ingredients
Rolo Candies, either wrapped
or the new unwrapped minis
(I have been using the unwrapped mini's
lately and it even makes it quicker to make
them, but have to say for full flavor the larger
ones are better, if you are trying to watch
your weight the minis are better. lol)
Synders Pretzel Twists
(I use the gluten free Synders pretzels now)
Pecan Halves
(I buy a large bag of Pecan Halves at Sams
club, cause we eat them all the time)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Use a nonstick cookie sheet

parchment paper), then add

the amount of pretzel twists,
you desire (I do about 35 at
a time, cause you don't want
them right on top of each
other or they will stick
together)
Now plop a rolo candy on top
of each pretzel, (that would be
35 rolos, for me)

Then put them in a 350 degree
oven for about 3 mins, then test
one to see if they are ready......
they should still be normal but
looking like they are starting to
sweat or maybe melt just a tad.
(I test them by taking a pecan or
walnut half and putting atop
the rolo and squish it down, if
it squishes easily they are ready
for you to top the rest of them
with nuts. Just be very quick

about it............cause they cool
quickly, so have your bowl of

to put the cookie sheet when
it comes out the often, and
comence squishing!! lol)
Get your pecans or whatever
type of nut you choose to use
in place, take the pretzels
out of the oven and
commence squishing.
Once you are done squishing

You are done..... just let them
cool a lil bit, then..........
Enjoy!!
These were all I had left as
they don't stay around for
long.........
P.S. The last time I made these I
tried putting some Twix minis atop
the pretzels and they were great too.
You can probably do just about any
of the mini's but some do have
hydrogenated oils, so we stay clear
of that............
Hope you like them, we sure do!
