Quicky and Easy Pecan Caramel Candies

One of my family's dear friends, Susan, pulled this recipe out of a magazine years ago, and we have been making it ever since.  It is SO fast and easy, and I have never come across anyone that didn't like them.  You can make them ahead of time to take to church functions, or to put out as part of your holiday buffet.  They also work great in a gift basket with a bunch of other yummy goodies, or as a hostess gift.  I like to put them in a mason jar decorated with ribbon--or with stickers if Jay is helping.   

Ingredients:
63 mini pretzel twists
1 13 ounce package of Rolo candies--unwrapped
63 pecan halves

Directions:
line 2 baking sheets with foil
Place pretzels on foil about 1 inch apart
Top each pretzel with 1 piece of Rolo candy
Bake at 250 for about 4 minutes
You want the chocolate softened, but to still retain its shape
Remove from oven and immediately press a pecan half gently into each piece of candy
Allow to cool and refrigerate

Seriously, give these a try!  They are really good, especially for something SO easy and quick to make!
