Instructions

Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place pretzels in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Top each pretzel with one ROLO candy.
Bake for 3–4 minutes, just until the ROLOs have softened but not melted completely.
Remove from oven and immediately press a pecan half onto the center of half the pretzels for the turtle version.
For the other half, press a red or green M&M into the center of the softened ROLO.
Let cool completely at room temperature, or pop in the fridge for quicker setting.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Notes

Make sure not to overbake the ROLOs; they should be soft enough to press but still hold their shape.
You can easily double or halve the recipe depending on how many you want to make.

Try using pretzel squares for a more even base.
