Key Ingredients
(Full printable ingredients and instructions are just below.)
Waffle Pretzels; the small regular pretzel shapes would work too but waffles are best
Rolo candies or any other chocolate covered caramel candy
Pecan halves; walnuts would be a fine substitution if you don’t have pecans
How to Make Caramel Pretzel Turtles
Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place pretzels in single layer on paper.
Place candy on top of each pretzel.
Bake in a preheated oven at 300* for 3 ½-4 minutes.
