Treats for New Year’s Eve

Are you having a party with your family on New Year’s Eve? Need more sugar in your diet a quick ‘n easy treat? (I know I should be promoting healthy foods, but it’s the holidays!) I recently came across this recipe that I think sounds absolutely divine — chocolate, caramels, and pecans — like turtle candy.  It’s called Rolo Candy Treats.   Sure to be a crowd pleaser.  Here’s the recipe.

Rolo Candy Treats
50 small pretzel twists
50 pieces Rollo candy
50 pieces whole pecans

Place pretzel pieces on a baking sheet.  Place one Rollo candy on each pretzel.  Place pan in a warm oven (250 degrees) to let the candy barely melt on top of the pretzel.  Remove pan from oven and press a pecan on top.  Let cool and harden.  Yum!

I’m sure your grandchildren’s parents (aka your children) won’t mind if you serve your grandchildren such sugar-laden treats. :-) After all, isn’t that what grandmothering is all about?

    It does more than just sound divine, it is divine. This is my go-to treat for the holiday. I even made some for work Christmas gifts and they were a big hit.
