Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
While the oven is warming, unwrap all 30 Rolo chocolates and set them aside.
3
Place the pretzels on a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they are not overlapping.
4
Top each pretzel with a Rolo candy, ensuring the chocolate is placed centrally on each pretzel.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them; you want the Rolo to be soft but still maintain its shape — it should not fully melt.
6
Once removed from the oven, let the pretzels rest for about 1 minute to slightly cool.
7
While the chocolate is still warm, gently press a toasted pecan or walnut onto each melty Rolo, allowing it to spread out and ooze just a bit.
8
Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack to let the turtles set completely before serving.
