Well, it’s no secret that my cooking skills (or lack thereof) have become the stuff of myth and legend in our family and on this site. It’s not that I can’t do it at all, it’s just so much easier to run to a restaurant. Now, you may have read previously on here that the one time I was left in charge of a family cooking episode, it ended with 5 fire trucks coming to the rescue. I still don’t know what the big deal is. Nobody got hurt and that acre or two of land grew back greener than ever!
This Saturday, I, along with my friend Steven, are hosting a birthday party for our roomie and good friend Beverly. She is always having these great parties with lots of great goodies, so now it’s her turn to relax and let us do the hosting. Now when it comes to planning, Steven is a cross between Hitler and Martha Stewart, and it has been mandated that this party have a Christmas theme. Even the appetizers I am making have to have a Christmas theme, so after much looking I have found a few that I think I can handle. I tend to prefer recipes that have minimal ingredients and don’t involve lots of like chopping and stuff. I don’t spend all this money on manicures for nothing! So I have a veggie pizza and cheese ball with my name all over it. And yes, as soon as I complete these tasks there will be photographic evidence posted here!
But in celebration of planning a party with Host-zilla, I mean Steven, here is one of his easiest and best recipes! Give these candies as gifts and people will think you slaved over them!
- square pretzels
- rolos candies (in the bag)
- pecan halves
Preheat oven to 300. Take a cookie sheet, arrange as many pretzels as you can on there. (it’s ok if the sides touch) Place one rolo on each pretzel, then place in oven for about 1 minute. Pull them out and immediately place a pecan half on each one and press down slightly. They will flatten out a little bit, and look sort of like a turtle candy with a pretzel on the bottom. Let these cool and firm up and then you can eat them, serve them, give them as gifts, whatever you like.
