Gwen,
I don't cook too much anymore since the family is grown and gone but I do have a simple little recipe for candy to make for little giveaways at holiday time.
Rolo Turtle Candies
1 bag of Snap pretzels (the little square ones)
1 or 2 bags Rolo candies
1 bag of Pecan halves
Place the Snap pretzels on a cookie sheet with parchment paper
Place a Rolo on top of each pretzel
Put in a 325 degree oven just until the Rolo gets soft
Bring out of the oven and press a Pecan half on each one (press lightly)
Let them cool on countertop until firm
You can put them in pretty little cello bags that you buy at a cake or candy suppy store. Tie them with a pretty ribbon or raffia ribbon. They make nice gifts for kids to make and they taste just like Turtles. Yummy!
