A Quick Holiday Treat

Apparently, the snack and Rolo God's have been talking to me because I have seen this on so many blogs and then when I went to the store yesterday, there was a recipe (well, not really a recipe it's 3 ingredients!!) card in the end cap. I was tasked with making a dessert for 2 holiday parties tomorrow and 1 salad.  So, I said I'd make a whole batch and split it between both parties and make 2 extra desserts. Easy enough.

We start off with 3 ingredients, pretzels (any kind), Rolos, and Pecans

Turn the oven onto 350 

On a sheet of parchment (totally optional) place 56 pretzels on the tray. 

That's how many Rolos were in the bag

Then, sit and watch the Today Show and unpeel the Rolos

Then pop them in the oven for 3-5 minutes. I'd watch them pretty closely. I went for 4 minutes. 

Take them out of the oven and mush a pecan onto the top. I did half pecans half pretzels. 

I popped the tray into the fridge for the chocolate to firm up a little quicker. Then I'm going to put them in a cute holiday tin and take them for Christmas Eve dinner today! Easy enough. I think unpeeling the Rolos took the longest amount of time.

Hubs had requested I make a Pineapple Upside Down Cake. I added a little extra brown sugar to the top so it's extra gooey. YUM. I created my own recipe with the base from Betty Crocker. 

Next up I have to make a St. Louis favorite - Gooey Butter Cake!
