How to Make Pretzel Turtles

As a kid growing up, Christmas was time where my Mom make all the candy we had for Christmas; divinity, hard tack, peanut brittle, fudge, etc.  I made them for my family only I raised picky kids, so they would not eat what I made.  So I stopped making them, until I came upon these.  These and the Chocolate/Carmel Covered Pretzel Rods (that’s a different Instructable) are the 2 things I make, that anyone will eat.  Here we are at the Christmas season and I am making them again.  They are so easy, even a candy making neophyte can have success and gain acclaim from those so enjoy these tasty little wonders.  Enjoy

Step 1

Supplies:                                                                                            
Butter snap pretzels (the ones that look like little window panes) or mini pretzels
1 bag of Rolos or carmel filled kisses
1 cup pecan halves or almonds or M&M’s
Oven 
Timer
Cookie sheet
Hot pad

I have had them both ways and I think they taste better with white chocolate on the pretzel. You should try it out sometime.
