Quick turtles

I made some jams and bread and butter pickles for gifts this year. Last minute I decided they needed candy so I threw together some Christmas turtles.

You need:
Pecan halves
Rolo candies
M&M's

The M&M's are just used to make them look like Christmas candy.

First preheat oven to 350 degrees. Then line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Then place pecans on foil I did them in clusters of 2 which to me is the perfect amount of candy to nut. Then place a Rolo on top of the pecans.
 Then place in the oven for 3-5 min until the chocolate softens. Do Not leave in for more than 5 min. The chocolate will actually start to harden and become chalky in consistency if left in to long. 

Immediately press an M&M into the chocolate. Do not worry if a little caramel leaks out it will harden and be fine. If you do not want to add the M&M you can leave it as is or press the Rolo down with the back of a spoon.


So easy and everyone appreciates a homemade treat.
