Go ahead–spend all day making elaborate neighbor treats this Christmas. Yeah, yeah…knock yourself out. Or…
…you could spend just a few minutes–less than ten, in fact and give these tasty treats a whirl. You won’t be sorry.

Ingredients:
Rolos (caramel chocolate candy)
Pretzels (grid shaped work best)
Pecan halves
Heat oven to about 250 degrees. Set pretzels on cookie sheet.
Place 1 Rolo candy on each pretzel.
Set in oven only until the chocolate is soft–about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Press 1 pecan half onto each Rolo. Remove from warm pan to cool.
Now, promptly give them all away to your neighbors or you’ll be sorry…or full of pretzels…and pecans…and chocolate…and caramel… There will be no end.
You will love them…

Any other options for the top? I don’t do pecans, except for in pie – don’t ask me I can’t explain it. Maybe a pretzel and then you’d have a little sandwich, what do you think? Would that work?

I suggest Almonds
Is the pecan thing perhaps because they look like brains? lol

Absolutely! In fact, you could put one little peanut on instead. Or a white chocolate dipped pretzel, or a macadamia nut…or a mini fudge stripe cookie. Please stop me…
