1st Christmas Vignette and Easy Peasy "Rolo Pretzel Candy" Recipe, Great for making with the kiddles

Hello Sweet Friends,

How are things going at your house?

Have you finished your decorating yet?

Have to say I haven't finished, but then as

I told you last week, I put the shopping 

ahead of it, so am 90% done with the

 shopping, so have gotten quite a bit of 

decorating done the last few days, but

 have more to go.............lol

Finally finished the fireplace and mantle

today, and had done the sofa table and

serving cart the day before, and put some

pillows out, so it is beginning to look a

lot like Christmas in the family room

at least.........lol

Have also been making candy for gifts

 for our Sunday School class party. I call 

them "Rolo Pretzel Candies" and everyone

 who eats them loves them, and typically

 asks who brought them, anytime I take

them to something, and they can not 

believe how easy they are to make.

So...........

 they are a favorite with us and our family.

So will give you the recipe at the end of

the post.  It is really a good recipe to make

with your kiddies or just as a fun family

project..............Hubby and I actually had

a lot of fun making them..........it is sort

of like playing beat the clock.......lol

These pics are from the first vignette I created

with the lovely Christmas bouquet my friend

brought me last week,  and the only decor pics

I have taken so far................this was taken in
the kitchen....justin case you can't tell........lol

This lil snowman you see here was not

already on the pitcher.  They are those

stick on window gel thingies,  so since

the subway art picture behind it had

a snowman, happened to think of these

lil stick on's I got for lil darling, so had

some fun with them.  They stick on so

easily.  Thought he was quite cute.....

Already has these lil children's gloves so

thought they went with the snowman theme,

but they are more lime green, so don't know

 why they look sea green...................

Lighting I guess.............

 Here is a Posterized version from 

photoshop,  my fav!

Got the neat sign or picture at Christmas tree

store last year...............and love it, cause that

is truly my feelings about Christmas.

Now..............

 on to the fun and delicious candies

Rolo Pretzel Candies

Already had these piled into a container when

I decided to share this,  so just took a pic as

it was due to time constraints. Sorry it is

a bit blurry,  but you get the idea how they

should look at least.

You will need a bag of pretzels, I like Snyder

pretzels the best,  and the gluten free work

fine and taste great, but they taste even

better with the butter snap ones.  So what

ever works for you...................

and some Rolo's..........

(Have no idea why the pic is sideways.....lol)

We used to use the larger Rolo's that you have

 to unwrap, but then we discovered the Rolo

 Mini's that are already unwrapped and make

it even easier.  I would say 2 bags of Rolo's

to one bag of Pretzels

and you will also need
 Pecan  or Walnut Halves.......

As many pecan/walnut halves as you have
 pretzels that you put on a cookie sheet.

Directions


Use an ungreased or parchment paper
 covered cookie sheet and put as many
pretzels on it as possible.  I put them
pretty close together.  Make sure to
count them as you put them on, so
you will know how many rolos (if
you use the kind you have to unwrap
or nuts to count out ahead of time,
make sure you do this step as once
 they come out of the oven,  time is 
of the essence.

Once you have all the pretzels on the
cookie sheet,  top each one with a rolo,
then put them in a preheated 350 degree
oven for just 3 mins. or so.  I just open
the oven up and take a nut and see how
easily it squishes down on the top of
the rolo, and if it is easy then take them
out and commence putting and squish-
ing the nuts on top very quickly before
they cool.  Once the nuts are on top,
let them cool a bit,  and commence
eating..........Yummo!

I have also tried them with snicker 
bites on top, and that is very good
too..................



Happy you could stop by..........
and hope you try these delectable little
treats, cause You won't be sorry
I promise!!

Have a lovely rest of the week.

Love, Hugs, and
Candy Making Blessings,

Nellie
