Chocolate Pretzel Turtles

I'm making my Christmas goodie list. One thing in my list are chocolate pretzel turtles. These are simple and quick to make. I learned two important lessons; make sure you use soft caramels and high quality chocolate. We really don't need to discuss the details - haha! You can also make them gluten free if you use gluten free pretzels. You can use any chocolate, I made milk chocolate and white chocolate. These are delicious! 😋 Ingredients: 36 pecan halves 36 pretzel twists, mini 36 soft caramels, I used Werther's soft caramels, 2 packages, unwrapped 1 bag chocolate chips, I used Ghirardelli white chocolate chips, melted Directions: Toast the pecans in a 325ºF oven for 5 minutes then set them aside to cool. Place pretzels on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Place one unwrapped caramel on each pretzel. Bake for 5 minutes in 325ºF oven. They should look shiny and soft but not melted. Remove from oven, keep them on
