Ingredients
- 28 Salted pretzels
- 28 Rolo Chocolate Caramel Candy unwrapped
- 28 Pecans lightly toasted
- 1 cup White Chocolate chips
- Colorful Valentine's Candy or Sprinkles to decorate the chocolate turtles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275℉.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and arrange pretzels on it in a single layer.
- Put one chocolate covered caramel candy on top of each pretzel.
- Bake in the oven for 3-4 minutes or until chocolate softens and starts to melt (be careful not to over bake).
- While pretzels are in the oven, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe dish for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to leave it in the microwave too long for it will become hard.
- Remove pretzels from the oven and press one toasted pecan onto the top of each candy and drizzle melted white chocolate over the top.
- Sprinkle Valentine's candy and /or sprinkles on top quickly before the chocolate cools.
- Transfer to cooling rack and cool completely.
Notes
- You can use any type of melting chocolate disks instead of the white chocolate chips.
- Be sue not to use unsalted pretzels. The turtles taste much better with the salt.
- When drizzling the white chocolate in step 6, you can spoon the melted chocolate into a sandwich bag and cut one of the corners off to make your own piping set or you can use a spoon.
- To cool the turtles more quickly, they can be put in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
