Homemade Turtles

These are so easy a turtle could make them! :)

What you need:

 Rolos, Pecan halves, and square shaped Pretzels.

First preheat the oven. It doesn't matter how hot really. When I turn mine on it automatically sets to 350* so I just went with that.
 I recommend buying the Rolos that come in tubes (found by the registers). If you buy them in a big bag the way I did you have to unwrap each one. The tubes aren't individually wrapped.
 Lay out your Pretzels on a cookie sheet. I put Aluminum Foil down first because the chocolate melts through to the pan so it just makes for easier clean up.
 Place a Rolo on each Pretzel. Then put them in the oven for a minute or two. They only need to be in there long enough to soften the Rolo.
 While they're in the oven, pull out the unbroken pecans from the bag. It's easier to already have them separated so you can quickly place them while the chocolate is still soft.
Once you take the pan out of the oven, place a pecan on each Rolo and push it down to flatten the chocolate. Let the chocolate harden back up and they're ready to serve. Like I said, so easy a turtle could do it!

If you're unsure if your chocolate is soft enough test it by pushing a pecan down on one while they're still in the oven. If it pushes down with ease then they're ready to go.
