Pretzel Turtles

These are super easy and really yummy! I made about 300 of them this week for gifts.

Rectangular pretzels
Bag of Rolos
Pecan halves
White chocolate (for drizzling on top)

Preheat oven to 300. Place pretzels in a single layer on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Put one Rolo candy on top of each pretzel. Place in the oven for 4 minutes. Remove from oven and gently press one pecan half into each piece of candy. Drizzle with melted white chocolate.

Grandma's Caramels

My grandma used to make these caramels and send them home with us. We always had a stash in the freezer. They're hardly diet food, but so delicious.

2 cups white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white corn syrup
1 cup milk
1 cup butter
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 tsp vanilla

Cook first 6 ingredients (sugar through whipping cream) slowly over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook to 248 degrees. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour into buttered 9x13 pan. Cool and cut into squares. Wrap in waxed paper.
