So it's the Christmas season and you've agreed to be part of a cookie exchange. But you have three kids (OK, you really have two kids plus a husband, but who's counting anyway), a dog, a full-time job, and you haven't done any Christmas shopping yet. This shall be your go-to recipe.

I've seen many variations and various ingredient substitutions, but this EXACT combo is still my favorite. The most difficult part of this recipe is unwrapping each Rolo candy. And these will freeze very well in a Ziplock bag after they have been cooled completely.
***
Ingredients
Equal numbers of the following:
Rolos candies (chocolate covered caramel)
Snyder's Butter Snaps (the square shaped grid-looking pretzels)
Pecan Halves
*
Decide the number of treats you wish to make and purchase ingredients accordingly. I wouldn't recommend substituting caramel Hershey's kisses--the caramel is runnier than Rolo. Anyway....
***
Instructions
Preheat your oven to a very low temperature --200 - 250 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat. Lay out as many pretzels as will fit. Place a Rolo on top of each pretzel. Put pan in oven for just a few minutes. You only want to soften...NOT melt. When the Rolo chocolate starts to glisten, remove from oven and press a pecan half into each Rolo. If the Rolo doesn't "give" easily, toss the cookie sheet back into the oven for one or two more minutes. Allow to cool completely.

Now, try not to eat them all at once!

Made these tonight. My 3 year old could even help. He helped line up the pretzels and top them with rolos once I unwrapped the candy. Once I took them out of the oven, I placed the pecan on top. Then he pushed them down. Some are slightly squished crooked. Most of them look marvelous though!
Ok...treat one. Where are the others? :)
Sarah--This is a great recipe for having kiddos help! Thanks for sharing!
And, I know, I know! I am still planning to have 12 treats! Work got in the way...hopefully with today's snow day, I'll catch up a little!
