Kids in the Kitchen — Poor Man’s Turtles

This week, I thought it would be fun to participate in A Little Fun with Me and Lu’s Kids in the Kitchen Thursday. Emily and I had such a great time this afternoon making these tasty Poor Man’s Turtles. She even decorated some boxes to keep them in, but I don’t think they will last long in this house!

To make your own Poor Man’s Turtles, you will need: Snap Pretzels, Rolos, and Pecan Halves.

Start by layering the pretzels onto a baking sheet. If you’re like Emily, feel free to munch on a few as you are doing this step.

Next, place one Rolo on top of each pretzel. Don’t they look great already?? Wait, wait, it gets even better……..

Place in a 200 degree oven for just a few minutes, or until the chocolate starts to melt. The Rolos do not melt down, so as soon as the chocolate is melted, go ahead and pull them out. Now, place a pecan half on top of each Rolo and press down. Yummmmm!

Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for the chocolate to harden back up again.

Here’s Emily decorating her candy box with lots of “Yum! Yum! Yum!”.

Don’t they look heavenly? They taste absolutely divine!

Have fun! And for more Kids in the Kitchen, visit A Little Fun with Me and Lu.
