I was given some of the BeSt pecans I have ever tasted and I just had to make a fun Halloween treat with them. Tanner’s Pecans are local to Alabama have been around since 1940. I have never seen pecans that large! They were the perfect addition to these spooky spider pretzel turtles. In the video, I show you three variations that you can make with the same few ingredients. Not only are they super cute, but they are also so yummy!

Pretzel Turtle Spooky Spiders

Ingredients

Small pretzel mini twists
Rolo candies
Pecan halves
Chocolate coating or dipping chocolate, optional
Semi-sweet mini morsels, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray or use a silicone baking mat.
Put pretzel mini twists on cookie sheet.
Unwrap Rolos and put a Rolo on each pretzel ring.
Place Rolo pretzels in oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or until just softened, not melted.
Remove from oven and gently smash pecan half on to each Rolo.
To make Spooky Spiders, break mini pretzel rings to create legs.
Stick the legs into the softened caramel and let set.
Using a spoon, spread melted chocolate on pecan and place mini semi-sweet morsels in melted chocolate for the eyes.
Cool on sheet and remove when completely cool
