This recipe saved me!  I'm in the Primary Presidency and we needed to think of a Christmas gift for 35 primary workers.  We decided to make 5 dozen cookies each, then we could bag them up and deliver them to each Primary Worker.  Five dozen cookies is no big deal.  One batch of chocolate chip cookies will make 5 dozen cookies.

But then my friend in the Primary Presidency asked if I could teach her how to bake cookies since she has trouble making great cookies.  So then I realized I had to figure out how to make make 10 dozen cookies within days of Christmas and crazy holiday activities.  That's a lot!  Then I found this recipe...

Rolo Pretzel Turtles by Steamy Kitchen
Preheat your oven to 350

1. Upwrap your Rolos. Place pretzels on baking sheet. Top with a Rolo.

2. Bake in oven for 3-5 minutes, until the chocolate just begins to melt. The Rolo should be soft but not completely melted.

3. Remove from oven, place on cooling rack and immediately squish the chocolate with a nut. Watch the caramel oooze out.

Thanks, Steamy Kitchen!  In addition to making sugar cookies from scratch, my friend and I easily made 100 of these and they were a huge hit at church!  I gave a bag of a half a dozen to a friend and she ate them all in 5 minutes.  AND she's passionate about healthy, organic food.  If she can make an exception for Rolo Pretzel Turtles, then these are a hit!

I bought a bag of pretzels for $3 and two bags of rolos at $2.66 each.  With an economy sized bag of pecans in my freezer ready to use it was a very affordable treat.
