Equipment

Ingredients

about 35 small pretzel twists
about 35 pecan halves lightly toasted and salted
1 8 ounce package Rolo candy
Yellow and green candy melts
St Patrick’s Day sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Add parchment paper to a baking sheet and put the pretzels in a single layer on top. Add a Rolo candy on top of each pretzel.
Put in the oven for 3-5 minutes until the Rolo candy is soft but not melted. Take the pan out of the oven.
As soon as you take out the pan, press one pecan halfway down on each Rolo. Press just hard enough so that the Rolo goes through the pretzel. Let the pretzels cool all the way.
Move to a wire rack once cool.
Melt the candy coating in a bowl according to the package directions. Drizzle the colored candy one color at a time over the pretzel turtles. Add sprinkles.
Let the coating harden, and enjoy!
