An Incredibly Easy Dessert

This recipe is definitely one of our family’s favorite. I learned about it from a special friend I have through homeschooling circles. I’ve seen this dessert called “Easy Turtle Delights” and “Pretzel Rolo Candies,” just to name a few. At our house, we call this treat, “Rolo Thumbprints.”

This is a very easy recipe. The “toughest” part of this one is unwrapping the Rolos! You can certainly recruit your children to help you unwrap the Rolos; however, you may not have the same number at the end of this project as you did when you started!

These are fab!

Rolo Thumbprints

1 bag of Rold Gold or Snyder’s pretzels (these are small round or square pretzels that look like little “waffles”)

1 13 oz. package of Rolo candies

1 lb. of pecan halves

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
2. Line a 9 x 13 jelly roll pan with foil. (You can also use cookie sheets lined with foil.)
3. Count how many Rolos are in the bag. Then count out the same number of pretzels and pecans. Put the pecans aside until later.
4. Now place the pretzels on the foil.
5. Unwrap all the Rolos.
6. Place a Rolo in the middle of each pretzel.
7. Put the pan into the preheated oven and leave for 5 minutes!
8. Remove from the oven.
9. While the Rolos are still soft, take a pecan half and press it into the middle of the Rolo. This will cause the Rolo to flatten and adhere to the waffling of the pretzel.
10. Place pan with candy into the refrigerator and let cool and harden.
11. Enjoy!

• Cheap Chicken Dinner Recipes Chicken can be a versatile component in a family’s menu plans. Less expensive than beef, I’ve found that using chicken as my main meat allows me to stretch my grocery budget much farther than I could otherwise stretch it.
