So I had a bag of salted pretzels in my cupboard. They were tasty alone and even tastier coated in chocolate but I still had like half a bag left! So I scoured the internet for ideas and found some brownies that I will be attempting at a later date and I saw quite a few recipes for these turtles. Wiki (my main source for all information) says that turtles are made of ‘chocolate, soft caramel and toasted pecans’ which sounds awesome in itself! But I saw the recipes that included pretzels and decided to go with those. I didn’t really follow a particular recipe, who needs one when its this easy?! But examples of a recipe can be found here, here and here!
Essentially you place pretzels, as many as you have and seriously go mad, I ate the ones I made in less than an hour, on a baking sheet. I lined mine for ease of caramel removal. Then top each with a Rolo. Just bog standard rolos!
Place in a hot oven for literally 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them. Burnt caramel is just gonna be nasty! The rolos will go squishy (technical term) and the whole thing will look yummy but resist the urge to shovel them in yet, if only cos a burnt mouth is no fun! As soon as they come out the oven, top straight away with a toasted pecan. Be sure to push it in so the roll surrounds it.
Once you’ve squished a pecan half into each, you just need to be patient for 10 mins or so till the chocolate cools and traps the nut in its chocolately prison! Then you can shovel them in! You could also top these with something else, another type of nut or even more chocolate! These were easy and tasty and gone in a v short amount of time!
