At our Saturday Training, we made and sampled all the "Homemade for the Holidays' theme recipes.
But we added a few...and wanted to share with all of you!

Homemade Easy Turtles...
Place a small "heart-rounded" pretzel on Parchment Paper.
Unwrap, and Place a "Rolo" Carmel on top and place in the oven on a baking stone
For 2 min at 300°. Remove from oven. Take a whole pecan half and press down.
The chocolate squishes over the chocolate and the pecans in the center. There you have it!
I am sorry, I do not know where this idea originated, to give the proper thanks and credit, but it's a keeper for me!
