"I love making these candies every Christmas," says jennmayhall13. "They are so easy and tasty. And they usually are the first candies to go!"

"So delicious," according to Tracy Fredrick. "A new family favorite. I also toast the pecans to bring out their flavors beforehand. [I use] circle pretzels. So fast and foolproof!"

"These are wonderful and simple to make — I use the star shaped mini pretzels so that they actually look like turtles with a head and four little feet sticking out," says Raven Stead. "Super cute that way!"
